PREFACE. 


That  a  good  Gazetteer  of  North  America  is  much  needed  at  the 
present  time,  will,  it  is  presumed,  not  be  denied.  But  whether  this 
volume  answers  to  that  description,  must  remain  for  an  enlightened 
public  to  decide.  The  compiler  has  aimed  to  collect  such  a  mass  of 
geographical  and  other  information,  in  regard  to  North  America,  as 
will  not  only  render  the  book  useful  in  families  and  to  individuals  as  one 
of  reference,  but  such  as  may  likewise  be  of  utility  to  the  higher  classes 
in  schools.  The  work,  it  is  presumed,  will  be  found  to  he  much  more 
full  in  regard  to  the  United  States,  than  any  gazetfeer  extant.  Par- 
ticular care  has  been  taken  to  give  a  full  account  of  the  literary  re- 
sources of  the  United  States ;  and  the  accounts  of  the  various  colleges 
and  seminaries  of  learning  will  be  foimd  to  be  much  more  full  than 
those  in  gazetteers  in  general. 

In  the  compilation  of  this  volume,  the  following  works  have  been 
largely  consulted,  and  numerous  extracts,  with  slight  alterations, 
taken :  viz.  Maltc  Bi-un's  Geography,  Morse's  and  Worcester's  ge- 
ograpical  works,  Darby's  Universal  Gazetteer,  Flint's  Geography,  Na- 
tional Calendar  for  1831  and  1832,  American  Almanac  from  1831  to 
1886,  Niles's  Weekly  Register,  American  Constitutions,  American  En- 
cyclopedia, and  the  various  state  registers.  In  addition  to  the  above, 
the  compiler  has  obtained  information  from  a  great  variety  of  sources, 
too  numerous  to  be  specified.  Particular  care  has  been  taken  to  have 
the  information  made  use  of  in  this  work,  the  most  recent  and  authen- 
tic that  could  be  obtained.  The  names  of  the  different  persons  from 
whose  works  extracts  have  been  made,  arc  not  annexed  to  those  ex- 
tracts, because  in  some  instances  the  phraseology  has  been  altered ; 
and  in  that  case  it  might  be  considered  an  act  of  injustice,  as  it  would 
ascribe  to  the  individual  named  that  which  is  not  .his  own,  and  for 
which  he  should  not  be  answerable. 

With  this  brief  notice  the  work  is  submitted  to  the  inspection  of  an 
intelligent  public.

EXPLANATORY  NOTE. 

When  the  population  is  expressed  without  a  date,  it  is  for  1899. 

In  the  six  New  Ekigland  states,  and  also  in  the  state  of  New  York,  New  Jcsey, 
Pennsylvania,  and  Ohio,  the  counties  are  subdivided  into  lownships,  and  in  Delaware, 
into  htmdnds;  Imt  in  the  rest  of  the  states  no  such  subdividion  as  tliat  of  township  is 
known. 

In  the  New  England  states  these  townships  are  tiommonly  styled  toietu.  They 
diflbr  considerahly  in  size;  generally  varying  ftom  about  5  to  6  miles  square.  In 
South  Carolina  the  state  is  divided  intp  dittricU  instead  of  coanti^  and  in  iMiisiana 
these  divisions  are  termed  parithes.  In  New  England  the  principal  village  almost 
always  takes  the  name  of  the  township  in  which  it  is  situated.  In  the  states  of  New 
Yorl^  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  and  Ohio,  the  towns  or  villages  commonly  take  dil^ 
ferent  names  ftom  the  townships  in  whidi  they  are  situated.  In  Ihe  states  sontJi  of 
Pennsylvania,  and  the  Ohio  river,  the  word  Immi  »  used  for  a  eompact  coillectitm  of

NoiTH  AwniOA  extends  {rom  the  Isthmus  of  Darien,  N.  lat.  8° 
to  the  utmost  known  r^ppns  of  the  north,  and  spreads  firom  Beh- 
ring's  Straits  to  those  ofBellisle,  or  rathor,  to  embrace  Greenland.  Its  breadth 
is  very  irregular,  not  exceeding  16  or  20  miles  n^r  Panama ;  whilst  from  Beh* 
ring's  iStraits  to  the  Straits  oTBeUisle,  it  extends  to  a  distance  of  8,800  goo- 

Eiplucal,  or  8,800  Enslish  miles,  bearing  N.  76°  W.    From  the  Straits  of 
lusle  to  the  isthmus  of  Duien,  is  4,600  geographical,  equal  to  6S1S  Englidi 
miles. 

North  America  is  traversed  by  two  great  chains,  and  several  minor 
ranges  of  mountains.  The  Appalachian  or  AUeehany  mountains, 
extend  through  the  United  States  firom  NE.  to  Sw.  firom  the  state  of  New  York 
to  Georgia,  Alabama,  and  Missisrfppi,  with  a  mean  width  of  about  60  miies. 
Several  detached  ranges  or  groups  rise  NE.  off  the  Kidson,  and  SE.  off  the 
St.  Lawrence.  The  Masseme,  or  Ozark  mountains,  extend  from  the  centre  of 
the  state  of  Missouri  towards  Tex&s,  in  a  direction  nearly  parallel  to  the  Appa- 
lachian chain.  The  length  of  the  Appaladiian  is  about  900  miles,  with  a  mean 
elevation  of  from  1,200  to  2,000  feet.  The  extent  of  the  Masseme  chain,  is 
not  very  accurately  kitown,  Imt  must  exceed  600  miles ;  its  mean  height  can- 
not, in  the  present  state  of  geographical  knowledge,  be  estimated  with  any  ap- 
proximate degree  of  accuracy.  The  great  spine  of  North  America,  is  this  Chip- 
pewan,  Rocky,  or  as  it  is  termed  in  Mexico,  that  of  Anahuae.  lliis  immense 
chain  reaches  from  the  peninsula  of  Tehuantepae,  N.  lat.  16°,  to  the  Frozen 
Ocean  at  N.  lat.  68°,  or  throi^  upwards  of  60  degrees  of  latitude ;  encircling 
nearly  one-seventh  part  of  the  globe.  In  neither  the  Aj^achian,  or  Masseme 
chains,  nor  in  any  of  their  neighboring  groups,  have  any  active  or  extinct  vd- 
canoes  been  discovered ;  but  in  the  sout^m  part  of  the  great  craitral  chain,  an 
immense  range  of  volcanoes  or  volcanic  summits  rise  to  from  10,000  to  17,700 
feet.  It  b  generally  supposed  that  the  mountains  of  the  isthmus  of  Darien,  are 
continuations  oi*  the  chain  of  Anahuae ;  but  there  is  strong  reason  to  belwve, 
that  the  former  are  distinct  and  unconnected  with  the  latter.  A  nameless  range 
skirts  along  the  Pacific  Ocean,  which,  firom  thi  defective  surveys  yet  taken, 
cannot  be  very  distinctly  delin«tted.  That  part  of  North  America  west  of  the 
Chippewan  mountains,  and  north  of  Colorado  river,  except  tfi6  central  parts  o{ 
the  valley  of  Columbia,  remains  either  imperfectly  <«  entirely  unknown. 

North  America  has  five  great  systems  of  rivers ;  that  of  the  At- 
lantic  Ocean ;  that  of  the  Gulf  of  Mexico  ;thia  of  the  FroBen  Ocean  I  **^ 
that  of  Hudsoo's  Bay ;  and  that  of  the  Ftunfic  Ocean.  In  the  Atlaiitie  ajratem, 
the  principal  rivers  are,  St  Jdau  of  Florida,  Altamaha,  Savannah,  Suntee, 
Pedee,  Cape  Fear,  Roanoke^  James,  Pbtomae,  ftisqudmnna,  Ddaware,  Hudson,

Pacific  Ocean  fiom  the  continent  of  North  America. 

DiviatMu        North  America  comprises  three  great  divisions ;  1st,  British  Amer 

ica,  in  the  north ;  2d,  the  United  States,  in  the  middle ;  and  8d 

Ifezioo  and  Guatimab,  or  Central  America,  in  the  south :  in  addition  to  these 

Oreeoland,  in  the  north-east,  belongs  to  Denmark ;  and  there  are  Russian  pos« 

Marions  in  the  north-west. 

The  most  important  islands  are  Newfbundland,  Cape  Breton,  St. 
John's,  Rhode  Island,  Long  Island,  and  the  Bermudas,  on  the  east- 
era  coast ;  Queen  Charlotte's  Island,  Quadra  and  Vancouver's  Island,  King 
Gterge's  Island,  and  the  Fox  Islands,  on  the  western  coast. 

Biri,  Oaifk,       T^^  'ive  largest  Bays,  or  Gulfs,  are  Baffin's  and  Hudson's  bays ; 

«ndUkM.  and  the  gulfs  of  St.  Lawrence,  Mexico,  and  California.  TheLaikes 
^  North  America  are  the  lat'gest  collections  of  fresh  water  in  the  world.  Some 
of  the  principal  ones  are  lakes  Superior,  Huron,  Michigan,  Erie,  Ontario,  Win- 
nipeg, Athapescow,  Slave  Lake,  and  Great  Bear  Lake.  The  largest  of  these 
snsat  lakes  is  lake  Superior,  which  is  400  miles  in  length,  and  is  as  much  af- 
racted  by  storms  as  the  ocean.  It  is  remarkable  for  the  transparency  of  its 
waters,  and  abounds  in  fish.  The  Pictured  Rocks,  on  the  soutn  side  of  lake 
Superior,  are  a  range  of  precipitous  clifis,  rising  to  the  height  of  800  feet,  and 
are  regarded  as  a  ^reat  curiosity. 

inhaMta  ti.      '^''®  mhabitants  may  be  divided  into  three  classes — Whitea,  JV«. 
groet,  and  hidiana.    The  whites  are  descendants  of  Europeans, 
who  have  migrated  to  America  since  its  discovery.     The  nqeroes  are  mostly 
held  in  slavery,  and  are  descendants  of  Africans  forced  from  their  rativo 
country. 
India  '^^  Indians  are  the  aborigines  of  the  country,  and  generally 

savage.  They  are  of  a  copper  complexion,  fierce  aspect,  tall, 
straight,  athletic,  and  capable  of  enduring  great  fatigue.  They  are  hospiteble 
and  generous,  faithful  in  their  friendship,  but  implacable  in  their  resentments. 
Their  common  occupations  are  hunting,  fishing,  and  war.  At  the  time  of  the 
discovery  of  America,  the  natives,  in  some  parts,  particularly  in  Mexico  and 
Peru,  were  considerably  advanced  in  civilizatKm.  For  the  most  part,  they  con- 
tinue a  distinct  people,  and  retaib  their  savage  customs ;  but  in  some  instances 
they  have  mingled  with  the  white  population.  In  North  America,  they  possess 
almost  all  the  country,  except  the  southern  and  eastera  parts ;  that  is,  the  north- 
em  part  of  Mexico,  most  of  the  territory  of  the  United  States  which  lies  west 
of  the  Mississippi,  and  nearly  all  the  vast  regions  which  lie  north  of  the  United 
States'  territonr,  and  west  ot  the  St.  Lawrence. 

The  following  account  is  mostly  taken  tiam  the  American  Ency- 


•Bd  Div^  jlopedia : — ^When  the  Eurqteans  first  arrived  in  America,  they

the 
most  uncultivated  people  usually  conceal.  Since  that  time,  however, 
they  generally  use  a  coarse  blanket,  which  they  buy  of  the  neighboring  planters. 
Their  huts,  or  cabins,  are  made  of  stakes  of  wood  cfriven  into 
'  the  sround,  and  covered  with  branches  of  trees  or  reeds.  They  las 
on  the  floor,  cdtEer  on  mats  or  the  skins  of  wild  beasts.  Their  dishes  are  of 
timlmr ;  bat  thedr  spoons  are  made  of  the  skulls  of  wild  oxen,  and  their  knives 
c^  flhit.  A  kettle  and  a  large  plate  constitute  almost  the  whole  utensils  of  the 
ftmily.  CSartwright  assures  us,  that  in  Labrador,  he  net  with  a  fiimily  of  na- 
tive* who  were  living  in  a  cavern  hollowed  out  of  the  snow.  This  extraordi- 
oary  haliitation  was  seven  feet  high,  ten  or  twelve  in  diameter,  and  was  shaped 
like  an  oven.  A  large  piece  of  ice  served  as  a  door.  A  lamp  lifted  the  in- 
side, in  which  Uw  inmratonts  were  lying  on  skins.  At  a  short  distance  was  a 
kitchen,  iUStwiae  constructed  of  snow.  They  describe  a  circle  on  the  frozen 
snow,  and  cutting  it  into  s^ments  with  their  knives,  build  it  up  with  g<oat  n^.

Captain  Parry  says  their  huts  are  numerous  m  many  parts  of  Afelville  Islands, 
in  latitude  74°  N.,  and  that  he  saw  many  of  the  natives  in  the  islands  of  tbs 
Archipelago  of  Barrow's  Straits,  though  thef'*  timidity  prevented  any  inter- 
course. These  polar  men  are  little,  squat,  and  feeble ;  their  complexion  par- 
takes less  of  a  copper  hue,  than  of  a  reddish  and  dirt^  yellow. 

There  is  established  in  each  society  a  certain  species  of  govern-  porm  of 
ment,  which  prevails  over  the  whole  continent  of  America,  with  ex-  oowmiMBt. 
oeeding  little  variation ;  because  over  the  whole  of  this  continent  the  manners 
and  way  of  life  are  nearly  cimilar  and  uniform.  Without  arts,  riches,  or  lux- 
ury, the  great  instruments  of  subjection  in  polished  societies,  an  American  has 
no  method  by  which  he  can  render  himself  considerable  among  his  compan- 
ions, but  by  superiority  in  personal  qualities  of  body  or  mind.  But,  as  nature 
has  not  been  very  lavish  in  her  personal  distinctions,  Vhere  all  enjoy  the  sanne 
education,  all  are  pretty  much  on  an  equality,  and  will  desire  to  remain  so. 
Liberty,  therefore,  is  the  prevailing  passion  of  the  Americans ;  and  their  gov- 
ernment, under  the  influence  of  this  sentiment,  is,  perhaps,  better  secured  Uian 
by  the  wisest  political  regulations.  They  &re  very  far,  however,  from  despi- 
sing all  sort  of  authority :  they  are  attentive  to  the  voice  of  wisdom,  which  ex- 
penence  has  conferred  on  the  aged,  and  they  enlist  under  the  bamiers  of  the 
chief  in  whose  valor  and  military  address  they  have  learned  to  repose  a  just 
and  merited  confidence.  In  every  society,  therefore,  there  is  to  be  oonsidered 
the  power  of  Uie  chiefs  and  of  the  elders.  Among  those  tribes  most  engaged  in 
war,  the  power  of  the  chief  is,  naturally,  predominant ;  because  the  i^  of 
having  a  military  leader  was  the  first  source  of  his  superiority,  and  the  con- 
tinual exigencies  of  the  state  requiring  such  a  leader,  will  continue  to  support 
and  even  to  enhance  it.  His  povrer,  however,  is  rather  persuasive  than  coer- 
cive ;  he  is  reverenced  as  a  father,  rather  than  feared  as  a  monarch.  He  has 
no  guards,  no  prisons,  no  officers  of  justice,  and  one  act  of  ill-jucU;ed  violence 
would  pull  him  from  his  humble  throne.  The  elders  in  the  other  form  of  gov- 
ernment, which  may  be  considered  as  a  mid  and  nominal  aristocracy,  have  no 
more  power.  In  most  countries,  therefore,  age  alone  is  sufiicieat  for  acquiring 
respect,  influence,  and  authority.  It  is  age  which  teaches  experience,  and  ex- 
perience is  the  only  source  of  knowled^  among  a  savage  poq>le. 

Amcmg  the  diflerent  tribes,  business  is  condneted  with  tlie  utmost  puuie  Aa- 
simplidty,  and  which  may  recall,  to  those  who  are  acquainted  with  ■«>>i>u^ 
antiquity,  a  {HCture  of  the  most  early  ages.  The  heads  of  fhmilies  meet  to- 
gether in  a  house  or  cabin  appointed  for  the  purpose.  Here  the  business  is  dis- 
cussed ;  and  here  those  of  the  nation,  distinguished  for  their  eloquence  or  wis- 
dom, have  an  opportunity  of  displaying  those  talents.  Their  orators,  like  those 
of  Homer,  express  themselves  in  a  bold  figurative  style,  stronger  than  refined, 
or  rather  sofitaied,  nations  can  well  bear,  and  with  gestures  e<^uaily  violent,  but 
often  extremely  natural  and  expressive.  When  the  business  is  over,  and  th^ 
happen  to  be  well  provided  with  food,  they  tHPPoiot  a  feast  upon  the  occasion, 
of  which  almost  the  whole  nation  partakes.  The  foast  is  acccrnqtamecf  with  a 
song,  in  which  the  real  or  fiibulou*  exploits  of  their  fore&thers  are  celebrated. 
They  have  dances  likewise,  thoush,  like  those  of  the  Greeks  and  Romans,  they 
are  ehi^y,  of  the  military  kind;  and  Uieir  music -and  dancii^ . accompany 
every  feast. 

To  assist  thdr  memory,  they  have  belts  of  amall  shells,  or  beads   wmdvmi. 
of  diflerent  odors,  rach  r^resenting  a  di&rent  object,  which  is     o^mm.

publio  record*  of  the  nation ;  and  to  them, they  occaiionally  have  reooune, 
when  any  public  contest  happens  with  a  nei^boring  tribe. 

If  we  except  hunting  and  fishing,  war  is  the  principal  enptoy- 
*"'  ment  of  the  Indian  men :  almost  every  other  concern,  but  in  partie- 
ular  the  little  agricultui«  which  they  enjoy,  is  consigned  to  the  women.  The 
most  common  motive  of  the  Americans  for  entering  wto  war,  when  it  does  not 
arise  from  an  accidental  rencounter  or  interference,  is  either  to  revenge  them- 
selves for  the  death  of  some  lost  friend,  or  to  acquire  prisoners,  who  may  assist 
them  in  their  hunting,  and  whom  they  adopt  into  their  society.  These  wars 
are  either  undertaken  by  some  private  adventurers,  or  at  the  instance  of  the 
whole  community.  In  the  hitter  case,  all  the  young  men  who  are  disposed  to 
go  out  to  battle  (for  no  one  is  compelled  contrary  to  his  inclination),  give  a  bit 
of  wood  to  the  chief,  as  a  token  of  their  design  to  accompany  him ;  for  every 
thing  among  these  people  is  transacted  with  a  great  deal  of  ceremony  and  with 
many  forms. 

o  lei  '^^  chief,  who  is  to  conduct  them,  fasts  several  days,  during 
twflmMiUnf  which  time  he  converses  with  no  one,  and  is  particularly  careful  to 
*""■  observe  his  dreams ;  which  the  presumption  natural  to  savages  gen- 
erally renders  as  favorable  as  he  could  desire.  A  variety  of  other  supersdtioiis 
and  ceremonies  are  observed.  One  of  the  most  hideous  is  setting  the  war  kettle 
on  the  fire,  as  an  emblem  that  they  are  going  out  to  devour  their  enemies ;  which 
among  these  nations,  it  is  probable,  was  formerly  the  case,  since  they  still  con- 
tinue to  express  it  in  clear  terms,  and  use  an  emblem  significant  of  the  ancient 
usage.  Then,  they  dispatch  a  porcelain,  or  large  shell,  to  their  allies,  inviting 
them  to  come  alcmg,  and  drink  the  blood  of  their  enemies.  They  think 
that  those  in  their  alliance  must  not  only  adopt  their  enmities,  but  that  they 
must  also  have  their  resentments  wound  up  to  the  same  pitch  with  themselves : 
and  indeed  no  people  carry  their  friendships  w  their  resentments  so  &r  as  they 
do.  Having  finished  all  iLc  ceremonies  previous  to  the  war,  and  the  day  ap- 
pointed for  uieir  setting  out  on  the  expedition  being  arrived,  they  take  leave  of 
their  friends,  and  exchange  their  clothes,  or  whatever  movables  they  have,  in 
token  of  mutual  friendship ;  after  which  they  proceed  from  the  town,  their  wives 
and  female  relations  wsdking  before,  and  attending  them  to  some  distance. 
The  warriors  march  all  dressed  in  their  finest  apparel,  and  most  showy  orna- 
ments, without  any  order.  The  chief  walks  slowly  before  them,  singing  the 
war-song,  while  ma  rest  observe  the  most  profound  silmce.  When  tlwy  come 
up  to  th«r  women,  the;^  deliver  them  all  their  finery,  and  putting  on  their  worst 
clothes,  proceed  on  their  expedition. 

OaiekD«n  of  The  great  qualities  of  an  Indian  war  are  vigUanoe  and  attention, 
uwir  Mnus.  to  g^ye  and  avoid  surprise ;  and,  indeed,  in  thoe  they  are  auperior 
to  all  nations  in  the  world.  Accustomed  to  continual  wandering  in  the  forest ; 
having  their  jperoeptions  sharpoaed  by  keen  necessity,  and  living,  in  every  re- 
spect, acconung  to  nature,  their  external  senses  have  a  d^ree  <tf  acuteness, 
which,  at  first  view,  appears  incredible.  Hwy  can  trace  out  their  enemies,  at 
an  immense  distance,  by  the  smoke  of  their  fires,  which  they  smdl,  and  by  the 
tracks  of  their  feet  upon  the  grotmd,  inmeroeptible  to  an  European  eye,  but 
which  they  can  count,  and  distinguish,  with  the  utmost  fecility.  It  is  said,  they 
can  even  dutinguish  the  different  nations  with  whom  they  are  acquainted,  and 
can  determine  the  precise  time  when  they  passed,  where  an  European  oooM 
not,  with  all  his  glasses,  distinguish  footsteps  at  all.  These  droumstanoes, 
however,  are  of  less  importance,  because  their  savage  enemies  are  equaUy 
wdil  acquainted  with  them. 

When  they  go  out,  ther^iro,  they  tdra  can  to  avoid  making  ose 

of  any  thinfl  by  which  they  might  run  the  danger  of  a  disooveiy.

along  in  files,  he  that  closes  the  rear,  diligently  covers  with  leaves  the  tracks  of 
his  own  feet,  and  of  theirs  who  preceded  him.  When  thoy  halt  to  refresh 
themselves,  scouts  are  sent  out  to  reconnoitre  the  country,  and  beat  up  every 
place  where  they  suspect  an  enemy  to  lie  concealed.  In  this  manner  they  enter, 
unawares,  the  villages  of  their  foes ;  and  while  the  flower  of  the  nation  are  en- 
gaged in  hunting,  massacre  all  the  children,  women,  and  helpless  old  men ;  or 
make  prisoners  of  as  many  as  they  can  manage,  or  have  strength  enough  to 
be  useful  to  their  nation.  But  when  the  enemy  is  apprized  of  their  design, 
and  comes  on  in  arms  against  them,  they  throw  themselves  flat  on  the  ground 
among  the  withered  herbs  and  leaves,  which  their  faces  are  painted  to  resemble. 
They  then  allow  a  part  to  pass  unmolested,  when,  all  at  once,  with  a  trumen. 
dous  shout,  rising  up  from  their  ambush,  they  pour  a  storm  of  musket-balls,  or 
arrows,  on  their  foes.  The  party  attacked  returns  the  same  cry.  Mannar  of 
Every  one  shelters  himself  with  a  tree,  and  returns  the  fire  of  the  •••'"■f- 
adverse  party,  as  soon  as  they  raise  themselves  from  the  ground  to  give  a 
second  fire.  Thus  does  the  battle  continue  until  one  party  is  so  much  weak- 
ened as  to  be  incapable  of  farther  resistance.  In  their  battles  death  appears  in 
a  thousand  hideous  forms,  which  would  congeal  the  blood  of  civilized  nations 
to  behold,  but  which  rouses  the  fury  of  savages.  They  trample,  they  insult, 
over  the  dead  bodies,  and  tear  the  scalp  from  the  head.  The  flame  rages  on 
till  it  meets  with  no  resistance ;  then  the  prisoners  are  secured,  those  unhappy 
men  whose  fate  is  a  thousand  times  more  dreadful  than  theirs  who  have  akd 
in  the  field.  The  conquerors  set  up  a  hideous  howling,  to  lament  the  firicnds 
they  have  lost.  They  approach,  in  a  melancholy  and  severe  gloom,  to  their 
own  villwe ;  a  messenger  is  sent  to  announce  their  arrival,  and  the  wom^n, 
with  frightflil  shrieks,  come  out  to  mourn  their  dead  brothers,  or  their  hus- 
bands. When  they  ar?  arrived,  the  chief  relates  in  a  low  voice,  to  the  elders,  a 
circumstantial  account  of  every  particular  of  the  expedition.  The  orator  pro- 
claims aloud  this  account  to  the  people ;  and  as  he  mentions  the  names  of  thoM 
who  have  fallen,  the  shrieks  of  the  women  are  redoubled.  The  men,  too,  join 
in  these  cries,  according  as  each  is  most  connected  with  the  deceased  by  blood 
or  friendship.  The  last  ceremony  is  the  proclamation  of  the  victory ;  each  in- 
dividual then  forgets  his  private  misfortunes,  and  joins  in  the  triumphs  of  his 
nation ;  all  tears  are  wiped  from  their  eyes,  and  by  an  unaccountable  transi- 
tion, they  pass,  in  a  moment,  from  the  bitterness  of  sorrow,  to  on  extrava- 
gance of  joy.  But  the  treatment  of  their  prisoners,  whose  fete  all  this  time  re- 
mains undecided,  is  what  chiefly  characterizes  the  savages. 

The  person  who  has  taken  the  captive  attends  him  to  the  cottage,  _^ 
where,  according  to  the  distribution  made  by  the  elders,  he  is  to  be  of  itoirpita 
delivered  to  supply  the  loes  of  a  citizen.     If  those  who  receive  him      •■** 
have  their  family  weakened  by  war  <w  other  accidents,  they  adopt  the  captive 
into  the  family,  of  which  he  becomes  a  member.    But  if  they  have  no  occasion 
for  him,  or  their  resentment  for  the  loss  of  their  friends  be  too  high  to  endure 
the  sight  of  one  connected  with  those  who  were  concerned  in  it,  they  sentence 
him  to  death.     All  those  who  have  met  with  the  same  severe  sentence  being 
cdlected,  the  whole  nation  is  assembled  at  the  ex'^ution,  as  for  some  rarest 
solemnity.    A  scaffold  is  erected,  and  the  prisonens  are  tied  to  the  stake,  where 
they  commence  their  death-song,  and  prepare -ibr  the  ensuing  scene  of  emel^ 
with  the  most  undaunted  courage.    Their  enemies,  on  the  c^her  side,  are  deter- 
mined to  put  it  to  the  proof,  by  the  most  refined  and  exquisite  tortures.  "They 
begin  i^  the  extremity  of  his  body,  and  gradually  approach  the  more   BhoeUaf 
vital  parts.    One  plucks  out  his  nails  by  the  roots,  one  by  one ;  an-    *<>rtaim 
other  takes  a  finger  into  his  mouth,  and  tears  off  the  flesh  with  his  teeth ;  a 
third  thrusts  the  finger,  mangled  as  it  is,  into  the  bowl  of  his  pipe  made  red-hot, 
which  he  smokes  like  tobacco ;  then  they  pound  his  tees  and  tegers  to  {Meoes 
between  two  stones ;  they  cut  circle  about  his  joints,  and  gashes  in  the  fleshy

rning,  and  pinching  them,  alternately ;  they  will  pull  off  hiti  flesh  thus  man* 
irled  und  roasted,  bit  by  bit,  devouring  it  with  greedirrss,  and  nmearing  their 
aces  with  the  blood,  in  on  enthusiasm  of  horror  mid  fury.  When  they  have 
thus  torn  oflf  the  flesh,  they  twist  the  bare  ner>'cs  and  tendons  about  an  iron, 
tearing  and  snapping  them,  whilst  others  are  employed  in  pulling  and  extend' 
ing  hia  limbs  in  every  way  thut  can  increase  the  torment.  1  his  continues 
oi&n  five  or  six  hours ;  and  tiometimcs,  such  is  the  strength  of  the  savages, 
days  together.  Then  they  frequently  unbind  him,  to  give  a  breathing  to  their 
fiiry,  to  think  what  new  torments  they  shall  inflict,  and  to  refresh  the  strength 
of  the  sufferer,  who,  wearied  out  with  such  a  variety  of  unheard-of  cruelties, 
oAen  falls  into  such  a  profound  sleep,  that  they  are  obliged  to  apply  the  fire  to 
awake  him,  and  renew  his  sufferings.  He  is  again  fastened  to  the  stake,  ind 
again  they  renew  their  cruelty ;  they  stick  him  all  over  with  small  matches  of 
wood  that  easily  take  fire,  but  burn  slowly ;  thev  continually  run  sharp  reeds 
into  all  parts  of  hin  body ;  they  drag  out  his  teeth  with  pincers,  and  thrust  out 
his  eyes;  and  lastly,  after  having  burned  his  flesh  from  the  bones  with  stow 
fires ;  after  having  so  mangled  the  body  that  it  is  all  but  one  wound ;  after 
having  n^iitilated  his  face  in  such  a  manner  as  to  carry  nothing  human  in  it ; 
afier  ha*. .  ^  peeled  the  skin  from  the  head,  and  poured  a  heap  of  red-hot  coals 
or  boiling  water  upon  the  naked  skull,  they  once  more  unbind  the  wretch ;  who, 
blind,  and  staggering  with  pain  and  weakness,  assaulted  and  pelted  on  every 
side  with  clubs  and  stones,  now  up,  now  down,  falling  into  their  fires  at  every 
step,  runs  hither  and  thither,  until  one  of  the  chiefs,  whether  out  of  compassion, 
or  weary  of  cruelty,  puts  an  end  to  his  life  with  a  club  or  dagger.  The  body 
is  then  put  into  a  kettle,  and  this  barbarous  custom  is  succeemd  by  a  feast  as 
barbarous.  The  women  are  said  to  surpass  even  the  men  in  this  scene  of  hor- 
ror :  while  the  principal  persons  of  the  country  sit  round  the  stake,  smoking 
and  looking  on,  without  the  least  emotion. 

Ooaiuney  of     What  is  the  most  extraordinary,  the  suflerer  himself,  in  the  little 
uw  miiknn.  intervals  of  his  torments,  smokes  too,  appears  unconcerned,  and  con- 
verses with  his  torturers  about  indifierent  matters.    Indeed,  during  the  whoh 
tune  of  his  execution,  there  seems  a  contest  which  shall  exceed,  they  in  inflict 
ing  the  most  horrid  pains,  or  he  in  enduring  them  with  a  firmness  and  con 
•tancy  almost  above  human :  not  a  groan,  not  a  sigh^  not  a  distortion  of  coun 
tenance  escapes  him :  he  possesses  his  mind  entirely  in  the  midst  of  his  torments 
he  recounts  his  own  exploits :  he  mforms  them  what  cruelties  he  has  inflicted 
on  their  countrvmen ;  and  threatens  them  with  the  revenge  that  will  attend  hit> 
death ;  and,  though  his  reproaches  exasperate  them  to  a  perfect  madness  ol 
rage  and  fury,  he  continues  his  insults  even  of  their  ignorance  of  the  art  ol 
tonnenting,  pointing  out  himself  more  exquisite  methcxls,  and  more  sensibk 
parts  of  the  body  to  be  afflicted: 

j^.  ^j^j  Nothing  can  exceed  the  warmth  of  their  afiection  towards  tbeii 
^  friends,  who  OHisist  of  all  those  who  live  in  the  same  village,  or  an 
in  alliance  with  it.  Their  friendship  prindpally  appears  by  the  tmUment  oi 
dieir  dead.  Where  any  one  of  the  society  is  cut  (^,  he  is  lamented  by  the 
whole :  on  this  occasion  a  variety  of  cerentonies  is  practised,  denoting  the  most 
lively  sorrow.    No  business  is  transacted,  however  pressing,  till  all  the  pious 

Tnwtmant  ceremonies  due  to  the  dead  are  performed.    The  body  is  washed 
orthBirdead  anointed,  and  painted.    Then  Uw  women  lament  the  loss  with 
*  hideous  howling),  intermixed  with  songs  which  celebrate  the  great 

actinns  of  the  deceased  and  his  ancestors.  The  men  mourn  also,  though  in  a 
less  extravagant  manner.  The  whole  village  is  present  at  the  interment,  and  tlte 
corpse  is  halHted  in  their  most  sumptuous  ornaments.  Close  to  the  body  of  the 
deceased  are  placed  his  bows  and  arrows,  with  whatever  he  vahied  hiost  in  his 
life,  and  a  quantity  of  provision  for  his  subsistence  on  the  joumev  which  he  is

Tlio  funeral  being  ended,  the  relations  of  tlie  ditceased  confine  themselves  IJ 
tlu!ir  huts,  for  a  considerable  time,  to  indulge  their  grief.  Af\er  an  interval  a€ 
some  weeks,  thoy  vIhIi  the  grave,  repeat  their  sorrow,  ncw-clolhe  the  remains 
of  the  body,  and  act  over  again  nil  the  solemnities  of  the  funeral. 

To  such  extremes  do  the  Indianu  puHh  their  friendship  or  their  enmity ;  and 
such  indeed,  in  general,  is  the  character  of  all  strong  and  ^mcultivated  minds. 

Hcligion  is  not  the  prevailing  character  of  Indians ;  and  except  Their  nu- 
when  they  have  some  immediate  occasion  for  the  assistanco  of  their      ■**'"' 
grxls,  they  puy  them  no  sort  of  worship.     Like  all  other  n^de  nations,  however, 
they  are  strongly  addictt'd  to  superstition.     Th%y  believe  in  the  existence  of  a 
number  of  good  and  bad  spirits,  who  interfere  in  the  concerns  of  mortals,  and 
produce  all  our  happiness  or  misery.     It  is  from  the  evil  spirits,  in  particular 
that  our  diseases,  they  imagine,  nroceed ;  and  it  is  to  the  good  spirits  we  ten 
indebted  for  a  cure. 

Such,  in  general,  are  the  customs  and  nuinners  of  the  Indian  luUion ;  bat 
almost  every  tribe  has  something  peculiar  to  itself.

into  an  eastern,  a  western,  nnd  a  middle  division,  tho  latter  comprising  thie 
great  basin  or  valley  of  the  MiNsissippi.  For  a  particular  description  of  the

half  in  this  country,  and  one  half  in  Upper  Canada. 

The  United  States  ccintain  many  large  and  navigable  rivers ;  some  of  the 

Srincipal  of  which  are  the  Connecticut,  Hudson,  Delaware,  Potomac,  James, 
avannah,  Ohio,  TenncMScc,  Mississippi,  Arkansas,  Red  River,  and  the  Oregon 
or  Columbia. 

A  iHirticular  description  of  tho  lakes  and  rivers  will  be  found  under  their 
respective  lu^idn. 

The  climate  of  the  United  States  is  remarkably  inconstant  and 
variable.  It  passes  rapidly  from  the  frosts  of  Norway  to  the  scorch- 
ing heats  of  Africa,  and  from  tho  humidity  of  Holland  to  the  drought  of  Cas- 
tile. A  chr.nge  of  20  or  25  degrees  of  Fahrenheit,  in  one  day,  is  not  consid- 
ered extraordinary.  Even  the  Indians  complain  of  tho  sudticn  variations  of 
temperature.  In  sweeping  over  a  vast  frozen  surface,  the  north-west  wmd  ac- 
quires an  extreme  degree  of  cold  and  dryness,  and  operates  very  injuriously 
on  the  human  frame.  Tho  south-east,  on  the  other  hnnd,  produces  on  the  At- 
lantic coast  eilects  similar  to  those  of  tho  sirocco.  The  south-west  has  the 
same  influence  in  the  plains  to  the  east  of  the  Allechanies :  when  it  blows,  tlio 
heat  frequently  becomes  painibl  and  suffocating.  In  the  mountains,  however, 
where  the  summer  heat  is  moderate,  even  in  the  southern  states,  the  fresh  and 
blooming  complexion  of  young  persons,  is  a  proof  of  the  purity  and  salubrity  of 
the  atmosphere.  The  same  ruddy  complexion  prevails  in  New  England  and 
in  the  interior  of  Pennsylvania  ,*  but  the  pale  countenances  of  the  inhabitants 
of  all  the  low  country,  from  New  York  to  Florida,  reminds  a  stranger  of  the 
Creoles  in  the  West  India  Islands.  In  this  region  malignant  fevers  are  preva- 
lent in  September  and  October.  The  countries  situated  to  the  west  of  the  Allecha- 
nies are  in  general  more  temperate  and  healthfUl.  The  south-west  wind  there 
brings  rain,  while  the  same  efiect  is  produced  on  the  other  side  of  the  moun- 
tains by  the  north-east  wind.  But  the  north-east  wind,  which  covers  tho  At- 
lantic coaA  with  thick  fogs,  is  dry  and  elastic  on  the  banks  of  the  Ohio.  Wheu 
we  compare  the  climate  on  tho  opposite  sides  of  the  Atlantic,  we  find  that  tho 
extremes  of  temperature  are  greater,  and  that  the  winter's  cold  is  nnore  severe 
on  the  we«t  side  than  on  the  east.  The  mean  temperature  of  the  year,  accord- 
ing to  Humboldt,  is  0  degrees  (Pahr.)  lower  at  Philadelphia  than  in  the  corre- 
qxMiding  latitudes  on  the  coast  of  Europe.  The  mouth  of  the  Delaware  is  gen- 
erally shut  by  ice  fur  six  or  eight  weeks,  and  that  of  the  St.  Lawrence  for  live 
months  in  the  year.  Throughout  the  United  States,  the  rams  are  sudden  ana 
heavy,  and  tho  dews  extremely  copious.  Storms  of  thunder  and  lightning  are

of  one  ana  one  fourth  dollar  per  acre,  and  whatever  remains  unsold,  may  be 

[mrchased  privately  at  this  price.  Formerly,  the  minimum  price  was  two  dol- 
ars  per  acre,  payable  in  four  years,  by  four  instalments ;  but  by  act  of  con- 
gress, in  1831,  it  was  fixed  at  one  and  one  fourth  dollar  ready  money.  Thia 
new  regulation  was  adopted  to  discourage  the  practice  of  speculating  in  land, 
and  to  lessen  the  litigation  arising  out  of  protracted  payments. 

The  title  deed  is  printed  on  a  small  sheet  of  parchment,  with  the  date  {  the 
purchaser's  name,  and  the  topographical  situation  of  the  ^pround,  are  inserted 
in  writing.  It  is  subscribed  by  the  president  of  the  United  States  and  tha 
agent  of  the  Land  Office,  and  delivered  without  charge  to  the  purchaser,  who 
may  transfer  the  property  to  another  person  by  a  process  equally  cheap  and 
simple. 

In  a  country  having  so  many  varieties  of  soil  and  climate  as  the  AfitMiMni 
United  States,  there  is  necessarily  a  considerable  diversity  in  the  pw><««iioh. 
agricultural  productions.  Maize,  or  Indian  com,  is  cultivated  in  all  puts  of 
tiM  country,  \k\  succeeds  best  in  the  middle  states.  Wheat  is  also  raiaed  in  all 
parts  of  the  country,  but  thrives  bast  in  the  middle  and  western  stalM.  Ths 
cultivation  of  tobacco  begins  in  Maryland  and  Virginia.  Cotton  fpowa  aa  tu 
north  as  89°,  but  its  cultivation  is  not  profitable  beyond  the  latitude  of  91*, 
This  usefiil  plant  was  first  raised  for  exportation  only  in  1791.  It  ia  now  pn>> 
duced  in  immense  quantities  fhrni  the  rivor  Roanoke  to  the  Minisnppi,  and 
forms  the  leading  export  of  the  United  States.  The  best  growa  uptm  o^  sittN 
ations  in  Carolina  and  Georgia,  oa  the  sea-coast.  The  rice  crops,  which  ra* 
quire  great  heat,  and  a  soil  susceptible  of  irrigation,  commence  about  the  sodm 
parallel,  and  have  nearly  the  same  geographical  range.  The  su^  cone  growa 
in  low  and  warm  situations,  as  high  as  latitude  38°;  but  the  climate  ikvoraUe 
(o  its  cultivation  does  not  extend  beyond  31  i°.  Oats,  rye,  and  barley,  are 
raised  in  all  the  northern  and  middle  states :  in  the  western  states  wheat,  hemp.

Rhode  Island,  New  York,  Connecticut,  New  Jersey,  Pennsylvania,  Virginia, 
and  North  Carolina.  The  United  States  are  supplied  with  conpor  chiefly  from 
Mexico  and  other  foreign  countries,  but  ores  of  tnis  metal  exibt  in  most  of  the 
states,  and  in  the  north-west  territory  are  said  to  be  in  gT<>at  abundance,  in 
situations  easy  of  access.  Lead  is  chiefly  prouired  from  Missouri,  whera  for. 
ty-five  mines  are  worked,  and  yield  three  millions  of  pounds  annually.  Of 
ooal  there  is  a  large  field  twenty  miles  long  by  ten  broad,  twelve  miles  firom 
Riohmond,  which  has  been  long  worked.  ThiK  useful  mineral  is  also  found  at

The  ConMitutioH  secures  to  the  citizens  the  grand  princi  lea  o "  freedom,

II  lid  tlie  right  of  chooNing  and  btiing  chosen  to  oflltco. 

The  executive  jHwer,  whic^h  is  the  power  that  administers  the  r^overnment, 
is  vented  in  a  pi-esident,  who,  together  with  the  vico  president  chosen  for 
four  years  by  electors  from  all  the  states.  The  principal  subordi  t«  officers, 
in  the  executive  department,  are  the  secretaries  of  state,  of  the  .  .^Hwury,  of 
war,  and  of  the  navv.  The  president  is  commander-in-chief  '^f  th(  trniy  and 
imvy,  and  of  the  militia  when  in  active  service.  Ho  grants  n  rievi  and  par- 
dons for  ofiences  against  the  United  States,  except  in  coses  of  imp<  «hnient. 
With  the  advice  and  consent  of  the  senate,  he  makes  treaties,  nomii.  *es  am- 
bassadors, consuls,  judges :  and  he  appoints  several  other  oflicers  by  is  own 
authority.  He  must  be  a  native  bom  citizen,  and  not  imder  thirty-fi\  yean 
of  ago. 

For  a  more  full  account  of  the  power  and  duties  of  the  president,  tht;  luali- 
fications  necessary  for  senators  and  representatives  in  congress,  see  Coi  ^tu- 
tion  of  tho  United  States. 

Senators  and  representatives  in  Congress  receive  an  allowance  of  eigh  dol« 
lars  per  day  for  the  time  they  attend  the  session  of  congress,  and  eight  di  Ian 
of  travelling  charges,  for  every  twenty  miles  they  have  to  travel  in  going  and 
returning.  Members  of  congress  take  an  oath  to  support  tho  constitutkm,  Sut 
no  religious  test  is  required  from  them,  or  any  person  holding  office  under  i  he 
federal  government.  Senators  aiui  representatives  vacate  their  places,  if  they 
accept  of  an  office  under  the  federal  government,  and  are  not  re-eligible  whi  !e 
they  hold  it.  The  forms  of  business  in  congress  are  chiefly  borrowed  nrom  thooe 
of  the  British  parliament.  Bills  are  read  three  times,  and  in  a  certain  stage  tent 
to  committees ;  but  what  is  deemed  a  great  improvement  in  eoiwresa,  there  are 
R  large  number  of  committees  appointed  in  the  House  of  niepresentatives, 
at  the  commencement  of  each  session,  vis.  for  commerce,  finance,  foreign 
afihirs,  dec. 

The  federal  judiciary  consists  of  a  supreme  court,  which  sits  at 
Washington,  and  a  district  court  in  each  state,  in  which  obe  judge

party.  It  has  a]>!>ellate  jurisdiction  in  all  cases  arising  under  the  federal  con- 
stitution, in  all  uumiralty  coses,  in  CHntroversies  between  two  states,  or  two 
citizens  of  ditTcrent  states,  and  between  a  state,  or  the  citizens  thereof,  and 
foi?igii  states  or  subjects.  The  supreme  court,  deriving  its  power  from  the 
constitution,  exercises  a  power  not  enjoyed  by  the  interior  courts.  'I'he  federal 
judges  are  appointed  by  the  executive,  with  the  approbation  of  the  senate.  In 
this  and  other  federal  courts,  jurors  and  wilnesses  are  allo\>ed  one  dollar 
twenty-five  cents  per  day,  and  live  cents  a  mile  for  travelling  expenses. 
0ute(OTcrii-       The  state  governments  are  extremely  similar  to  that  of  the  fede- 

menti.  y^i  j^  t|,eir  composition.  The  legislature  consists  always  of  two 
branches,  both  of  which  are  returned  by  the  same  electors ;  and  these  electors 
may  be  said  to  comprise  the  whole  adult  white  population ;  the  usual  qualitica- 
tions  being  citizenship,  with  one  or  two  years'  residence,  and  payment  of  taxes. 
'^  1.8  only  exceptions  are  the  following: — In  Vermont,  the  legislature  consists 
c  a  House  of  Representatives  only ;  in  North  Carolina,  representatives  are 
chosen  by  the  whole  resident  free  citizens  who  pay  taxes,  but  senators  only 
by  freeholders ;  in  New  Jersey  and  Virginia,  the  right  of  suffrage  for  both 
hpuses  is  limited  to  persons  holding  a  small  amount  of  landed  property ;  ir. 
Maryland,  the  senators  are  chosen  by  delegates  named  for  the  puri)ose  by  the 
people. 

In  all  the  states,  the  period  for  which  the  representatives  serve  is  either  one 
or  two  years.  The  elections  are  biennial  in  Delaware,  South  Carolina,  Ten- 
nessee, Louisicma,  Illinois,  and  Missouri;  and  armual  in  the  other  eighteen 
states. 

The  shortest  period  for  which  the  senators  serve  in  any  state  is  one  year, 
and  the  longest  ^ve.  In  Maine,  New-Hampshire,  Massachusetts,  Rhode  Island, 
Connecticut,  New-Jersey,  North  Carolina,  Georgia,  the  senators  hold  their 
office  for  one  year  only ;  in  Ohio  and  Tennessee  for  two  years ;  Mississippi, 
Alal>ama,  Indiana,  for  three  years;  in  New- York,  Pennsylvania,  Delaware, 
Virginia,  South  Carolina,  Kentucky,  Louisiana,  Illinois,  Missouri,  (or  four 
years ;  and  :n  Maryland  for^ce  years.  Except  in  Maryland,  when  the  senate 
of  any  state  serves  for  more  than  one  year.  It  is  renewed  by  parts  or  divisions, 
one-third  of  the  members  going  out  aimually  when  they  serve  for  three  years, 
and  one-fourth  when  they  serve  for  four.  In  some  cases,  however,  when  the 
senators  serve  ior  four  years,  the  renewal  is  by  halves  every  two  years. 

Religious        J"  Pennsylvania,  Mississippi,  and  Tennessee,  a  belief  in  a  Deity, 
quaiiflcationi  and  in  a  future  state  of  rewards  and  punishments ;  and  in  Massachu- 
,    ''*'°*"-    setts,  Maryland,  and  North  Carolina,  a  belief  in  the  Christian  reli- 
gion, is  required  as  a  qualification  for  office.    In  New-Jersey  no  protestant  can 
be  excluded.     In  the  other  states  no  religious  test  is  required. 

Such  is  a  brief  sketch  of  the  political  system  of  the  United  States.  "  It  has 
survived  the  tender  period  of  infancy,  and  outlived  the  prophecies  of  its  down- 
fall. It  has  borne  the  nation  triumphantly  through  a  period  of  domestic  diffi- 
culty and  external  danger ;  it  has  been  found  serviceable  in  peace  and  in  war, 
and  may  well  claim  from  the  nation  it  has  saved  and  honored,  the  votive  bene- 
diction of  erto  perpetva." 

The  expenses  of  the  government  are  maintained  without  any 
diioct  taxes  for  its  support ;  the  produce  of  the  customs  levied  at  tho 
ports  on  the  importation  of  foreign  goods,  and  the  sums  derived  from  the  sale 
of  the  public  lands,  constitute  the  whole  of  the  public  revenue. 

The  average  produce  of  the  customs  may  be  estimated  at  from  16  to  18 
millions  of  dollars,  and  the  sum  derived  from  the  sale  of  public  lands  at 
3,600,000.  The  proceeds  from  sales  of  these  lands  in  1835  amounted  to  the 
unprecfdented  sum  of  914,757,600,  owing  to  immense  speculations. 

The  Post-office  yields  more  than  a  million  of  dollars  a  year ;  but 
it  is  almost  wholly  consumed  in  supporting  the  establishment.

A  Standing  arnny  w  necessarily  an  object  of  jealousy  in  a  repulili- 
can  state ;  and  as  North  America  has  no  formidable  enemy  in  its 
▼icinity,  and  as  the  people  are,  at  the  same  time,  extremely  studious  of  eco- 
nomy in  all  the  branches  of  the  government,  their  military  force  has  always 
been  kept  on  a  very  low  scale.  By  an  act  of  congress,  1815,  the  strenjjth 
of  the  regular  am  y  was  fixed  at  098U  men.  In  1821  it  was  reduced  to  e&lSr 
and  on  the  1st  of  January,  1835,  the  number  was  as  follows :

When  the  militia  are  called  into  the  field  for  actual  service,  they  have  the  same 
pay  and  allowances  as  the  regular  army,  but  are  only  bound  to  serve  for  six 
months. 

The  navy  of  the  United  States  is  small  in  point  of  numbers,  but  is 
perhaps)  the  best  organized  and  most  effective  in  the  world.  The  un-  "^ 
expected  and  astonishing  success  of  their  frigates  in  combats  with  British  ves* 
sels  of  the  same  doss  during  the  late  war,  established  at  once  the  reputation  of 
the  American  navy  for  skill  and  prowess  in  the  eyes  of  Europe ;  and  the  United 
States,  with  a  very  few  ships,  already  rank  high  as  a  naval  power.  From 
1816  to  1821,  one  million  of  dollars  was  expended  annually  in  building  ships 
of  war.  Since  1821  the  sum  thus  appropriated  has  been  reduced  one  half. 
The  strength  of  the  American  navy  is  as  follows  in  1886. 

7  ships  of  the  line,  7  frigates  of  the  first  rate,  3  of  the  second  rate,  16  sloops 
of  war,  8  schooners.  The  oldest  vessels  are  the  United  States,  the  Constitu- 
tion, and  the  Constellation,  all  built  in  the  year  1797.  Now  building  in  the 
United  States,  6  ships  of  the  line,  and  7  frigates.  Of  the  rank  of  lieutenants 
and  upwards,  there  are  434 ;  surgeons  and  assistant  surgeons,  100;  pursers  48 ; 
chaplains  0;  midshipmen  452;  sailing  masters  27;  boatswains  20;  gunners 
22 ;  carpenters  21 ;  sail-makers  19.  In  the  marine  corps  there  ore  1  cd<»iel, 
9  captains,  and  30  lieutenants.

No.  7.    Pensacda,  Florida. 

It  was  reaenred  for  die  lawgivers  of  tbe  United  States  to  make  the 
bold  experiment  of  dispensing  with  a  st&ieHreligion.  In  New  Hamp- 
shire the  legislature  is  empowered  to  authorite,  and  in  I^usachusetts  the  legis. 
lature  is  enjoined  to  require,  the  several  towns  and  parishes  to  make  adequate 
provision,  at  their  own  expense,  for  the  support  of  Pro^eatant  ministers.  The 
same  was  the  case  in  Connecticut  until  1818,  when  it  was  abolished  by  the 
new  constituticm.  But  in  all  the  other  twenty-two  states,  die  support  of  religion 
is  left  entirely  to  the  voluntary  zeal  of  its  professors.  Tlie  reEOilt  has  shown 
that  Christianity  has  a  firm  hold  in  the  nature  of  man,  and  is  rather  injured 
than  served  by  those  costly  cstablishmoits  which  so  often  abrid^  fiee  inquiry 
and  liberty  of  ccmscience,  engender  fierce  animc^ities  among  rival  set^  per- 
petuate the  errors  and  dogmas  of  unenlightened  tunes,  and  degrade  religion  into 
an  en^ne  of  civil  tyranny,  or  the  ally  of  ignorance  and  impostate.  In  the 
lai^  towns  and  populous  places  of  New  England,  and  the  middle  etates,  reli- 
gious instruction  is  more  faithfully  and  abimdantly  dispensed,  and  religious  ordi- 
nances are  more  strictly  and  universally  observed,  than  in  any  other  country 
in  the  world.  In  newly-settled  districts,  where  a  small  population  is  spread 
over  a  wide  surface,  the  moan*  of  religious  instruction  are  often  deficient.

DUCLAKATTON  OF 


rifktaof 
llMnopI*, 


DECLARATION  OP  INDEPENDENCE. 

In  Conobbm,  July  4,  1770. 
Tkt  Ummimoua  DeeJaratim  vf  ihe  Thirteen  United  Stai^n  of  Amtriea. 

P,^,,^  Whin,  in  the  cuurao  of  human  events,  it  becomei  nocctaary  fur 
^riiM  one  people  to  diMolve  the  political  banda  which  have  connected  them 
•""""with  another,  and  to  OMume,  among  the  powers  of  the  earth,  the 
■eparate  and  equal  station  to  which  the  laws  of  nature  nnd  of  imture'a  Ood 
entitle  them,  a  decent  res|)cct  to  the  opinions  of  mankind  requires  that  they 
should  declare  the  causes  which  impel  them  to  the  separation. 

We  hold  these  truths  to  be  self-evident ; — that  all  men  are  created  equal, 
Us«ti«n>bie  that  they  ore  endowed  by  their  Creator  with  certain  unalienable 
rights ;  that  among  these  are  Ufe,  liberty,  and  the  pursuit  of  happi* 
ncss.  That  to  itecure  these  rights,  governments  are  inxtituted  among 
men,  deriving  their  just  [mwers  from  the  consent  of  the  governed ;  that  when- 
ever  any  form  of  government  becomes  destructive  of  these  endn,  it  is  the  right 
of  the  people  to  alter  or  to  abolish  it,  and  to  institute  a  new  ^ernment,  layuig 
its  foundation  on  such  principles,  and  organizing  Its  powers  in  such  form,  as  to 
them  shall  seem  most  hkely  to  effect  their  safety  and  happiness.  Prudence,  in- 
deed, will  dictate,  that  governments  long  establinhed  should  not  be  changed  for 
light  and  transient  causes ;  and  accormngly  all  experience  hath  shown,  that 
mankind  are  more  disposed  to  suffer  while  evils  are  suflerable,  than  to  right 
themselves  by  abolisliing  the  forms  to  which  they  are  accustomed.  But  when 
a  long  train  of  abuses  and  usurpations,  pursuing  invariably  the  some  object, 

Akwiuia  evinces  a  design  to  reduce  them  under  absolute  despotism,  it  in  their 
ivranny  iha  right,  it  is  their  duty  to  throw  off*  such  government,  and  to  provide 
"  Mnf  or*"  new  guards  for  their  fliture  security-  Such  has  been  tht:  patient  nf- 
emit  Brit-  ferance  of  these  colonics ;  and  such  is  now  the  necessity  which  con- 
strains them  to  alter  their  former  systems  of  governreeat.  The  his- 
tory of  the  present  king  of  Great  Britain  is  a  history  of  repeated  injuries  and 
usurpations,  all  having  m  direct  object  the  establishment  of  an  absolute  tyranny 
over  these  states.     To  prove  this,  let  (acts  be  submitted  to  a  candid  world. 

He  has  refused  his  assent  to  laws  the  most  wholesome  and  necessary  for  the 
piblic  good- 
He  has  forbidden  his  governors  to  pass  laws  of  immediate  and  pressing  im« 
BMiuUon  portance,  unless  suspended  in  their  operation,  till  his  assent  should 
Md  uwilpi-  "^  oLtained ;  and  when  so  suspended,  he  has  utterly  neglected  to  at- 
UoM  oa  the  tend  to  them.  He  has  refused  to  pass  other  laws  for  the  oocommo- 
omStMib  dation  dT  Iwrsm  districts  of  people,  unless  those  people  would  relin- 

«rowD.  qiiish  the  right  of  representation  in  the  legislature — a  right  inesti- 
mable to  them,  and  formidable  to  tyrants  only. 

He  has  called  together  legislative  bodies  at  places  unusual,  vncomfortable, 
and  distant  from  the  repository  of  their  public  records,  for  the  '.ole  purpose  of 
fttigmng  them  into  compliance  with  his  measures. 

He  lias  dissolved  representative  houses  repeatedly,  for  opposing,  with  nianljr 
firmness,  his  invasions  on  the  rights  of  the  people. 

He  has  refused,  for  a  long  time  afler.such  dissolutions,  to  cause  others  to  be 
•fOected ;  whereby  the  legislative  powers,  incapable  of  annihilation,  have  return- 
ed to  the  people  at  large,  for  tl^ir  exercise ;  the  state  remaining,  in  the  mean 
time,  exposed  to  all  the  dangers  of  invasion  from  without,  and  convulsions 
within. 

He  has  endeavored  to  prevent  the  population  of  these  states ;  for  that  pur- 
^poss  obstructing  th«  laws  for  aatundication  of  foreigners ;  refusing  to  jwsa

He  has  orfH^ited  a  multitude  of  new  >>iKces,  and  sent  hither  swarms  t>f

He  has  kept  amung  us,  in  times  of  p<Mice,  standing  armies  without  the  con-

For  proti'ctiiig  them,  by  a  mock  trial,  from  punishment  fbr  any  murdan

For  outting  oflf  our  trade  with  all  parts  of  the  world  i 

For  imposmg  taxm  on  us  without  our  consent : 

For  depriving  us,  in  many  cases,  of  the  benefits  of  trial  by  jury : 

For  transporting  us  beyond  seas,  to  be  tried  for  pretended  onencos : 

For  aboliuhing  the  free  system  of  English  laws  in  a  neighboring  province, 
establishing  therein  an  arbitrary  government,  and  enlarging  its  boundaries,  so 
as  to  render  it  at  onco  an  example  and  fit  instrument  for  introducing  the  some

Tor  suspending  our  own  lesislatures,  and  declaring  themselves  invested  with 
power  to  legislate  for  us  in  allcasos  whatsoever. 

He  has  abdicated  government  here,  by  declaring  ua  out  of  his  protection, 
and  waging  war  against  us. 

Ho  Imb  plundered  our  seas,  ravaged  our  coasts,  burnt  our  towns,  and  de- 
stroyed the  lives  of  our  people. 

He  is  at  this  time  lransportin(^  large  armies  of  foreign  mercenaries  to  com- 
plete the  works  of  death,  acsolation,  and  tyranny,  already  begun  with  circum- 
stances of  cruelty  and  perfidy,  scarcely  paralleled  in  the  moat  barbarous  ages, 
and  totally  unworthy  the  head  of  a  civilized  nation. 

He  has  constrained  our  fbllow-citizcns,  taken  captive  on  the  high  seas,  to 
bear  arms  against  their  country,  to  become  the  executioners  of  their  friends 
and  brethren,  or  t<>  fall  themselves  by  their  hands. 

He  has  excited  domestic  insurrections  amongst  us,  and  haa  endeavored  to 
bring  on  the  inhabitants  of  our  frontiers,  the  merciless  Indian  savages,  whose 
)  nown  rule  of  warfkre  is  an  undistinguished  destruction  of  all  ages,  sexes,  and 
conditions. 

In  every  stage  of  these  oppressions,  we  have  petitioned  fbr  redress  PMiUom 
in  the  most  humble  terms :  our  repeated  petitions  have  been  luiswered  J^!f!!iil!!2, 
only  by  repeated  injury.   A  prince,  whose  character  u  thus  marked      *^ 
by  every  act  which  may  dtfine  a  tyrant,  is  unfit  to  be  the  ruler  of  a  fiwepoople. 

Nor  have  we  been  wanting  in  attentions  to  our  British  brethren.     We  h»ve 
warned  them,  from  time  to  time,  of  attempts  by  their  legislature  to  ext^md  an 
unwarrantable  jurisdiction  over  us.     We  have  renu'nded  them  of  tho  circum- 
stances of  our  migration  and  settlement  here.     We  have  appealed  to  Appoai  lo 
their  native  justice  and  magnanimity,  and  we  have  conjured  them  by  J^«'frtlu 
the  tics  of  our  coaunon  kindred  to  disavow  these  usurpations,  which   *-^  *«•

would  inevitably  interrupt  our  connexions  and  correspondence.   They  too  have 
been  deaf  to  the  voice  of  justice  and  consanguinity.     Wc  must,  therefore,  ac- 
quiesce in  the  necessity  which  denounces  our  separation,  and  hold  thein,  as  we 
hold  the  rest  of  mankind— enemies  in  war,  in  peace  friends.

of  iDdaptn-  ca,  in  geueral  congress  assembled,  appealing  to  the  Supreme  Judge  of 
the  world,  for  the  rectitude  of  our  intentions,  do,  in  the  name  and  by 
the  authority  of  the  good  people  of  these  colonies,  solemnly  publish  and  de- 
liweoio-  clare,  that  these  united  colonies  are,  and  of  right  ought  to  be,  free 
uiMibMiTg  and  independent  states ;  that  they  are  absolved  from  ail  alieeiance  to 
iv^SI^^  the  British  crown,  and  that  all  political  connexion  between  uiem  and 
•uecUiica,  the  state  of  Great  Britain  is,  and  ought  to  be,  totally  dissolved; 
and  that,  as  free  and  independent  states,  they  have  full  power  to  levy 
war,  conclude  peace,  contract  alliances,  establish  commerce,  and  to  do  all  other 
acts  and  things  which  independent  states  may  of  right  do.    And  for  the  sui>- 
Matati    V°^  *>f  ^^  declaration,  with  a  firm  reliance  on  the  protection  of  Di- 
^^oT  vine  Providence,  we  mutually  pledge  to  each  other  our  lives,  our  for-

MAINR 


The  principal  rivers  ai-e  the  Penobscot,  Kcnnebeck,  Androxcoggin,  Saco,  St 
Croix,  and  St.  Johns.    The  principal  bays  are  Casco,  Penobscot,  French.^an's, 
Englishman's.  Machias,  and  Fassomnquoddy.     The   most  noted  lakes  are 
Moosehead,  Umbagog,  Sebago,  Sch*.>odic,  and  seveial  others  farther  in  the 
interior. 

Maine  is  rather  an  elevated  country,  having  genei.-ally  a  diversified  surface. 
A  tract  commencing  on  the  west  side  of  the  state,  eaiit  of  the  White  Mountains, 
in  New  Hampshire,  and  holding  a  north-east  directioa  as  far  as  the  heads  of  the 
Aroostic,  about  160  miles  in  length,  and  60  in  its  greatest  breadth,  is  moun* 
tainous.  Katahdin  mountain,  in  this  range,  is  supposed  to  be  the  highest  land 
between  the  Atlantic  and  the  St.  Lawrence.  Then)  is  also  a  small  moimtain- 
ous  tract  in  the  northern  extremity.  The  remainder  of  the  state  may  be  con> 
sidered,  generally,  as  a  moderately  hilly  country. 

The  tract  of  country  along  the  sea-coast  from  1 9  to  20  miles  wide  embraces 
all  the  varieties  of  sandy,  gravelly,  clayey,  and  loamy  soils,  frequently  inter- 
speiaed  at  short  distances ;  seldom  very  rich,  in  many  places  tolerably  fertile, 
but  generally  poor.  Of  this  section  Indian  com,  rye,  barley,  grass,  &c.  are 
the  principal  productions.  In  the  tract  lying  north  of  this,  and  extending  50 
miles  from  the  sea  in  the  western,  80  in  the  central,  and  00  in  the  eastern  part, 
tiie  same  kinds  of  soil  are  found,  but  they  are  less  frequently  diversified,  and 
generally  more  fertile.  The  surface  rises  into  large  swells  of  generally  good 
soil,  between  which,  on  the  margin  of  the  stniams,  are  fi«quently  rich  inter* 
vals,  and  in  other  places  sandy  or  gravelly  pine  plains,  or  spruce  and  cedar 
swamps.  Of  this  section  the  principal  productions  are  grass,  Indian  com, 
wheat,  barley,  rye,  flax,  dec. 

The  country  beyond  the  li'  'its  above  specified,  is  but  little  settled.  It  exhibits 
great  diversities  in  the  appearance  of  its  soil,  growth  of  timber,  and  also  in 
climate.  The  land  on  the  Kennebeck,  and  ..cween  this  river  and  the  Penob* 
scot,  is  accounted  the  best  in  the  district.  It  is  well  adapted  to  the  various  pur- 
TK>ses  of  agriculture,  and  as  a  grazing  country,  it  is  one  of  the  finest  in  New 
England. 

Though  the  climate  of  Maine  is  subject  to  great  extremes  of  heat  and  cold, 
yet  the  air  in  all  parts  of  the  country  is  pure  and  salubrious.  The  summ'3rs  in 
most  parts  are  favorable  to  the  growth  of  all  the  vegetable  productions  of  the 
northern  states.  In  some  parts,  however,  Indian  com  and  some  other  plants 
of  a  more  tender  kind,  are  frequently  injured  and  sometimes  destroyed  by  frosts 
late  in  the  spring  and  early  in  autumn.  The  cold  of  wmter  is  severe,  yet  the 
serenity  of  the  sky,  and  the  invigorating  influence  of  the  atmosphere,  during 
the  same  season,  make  amends,  in  somfi  degree,  for  the  severity  of  the  weather. 
It  is  said  that  an  inhabitant  on  Kennebec;k  river  requires  more  clothing  in  winter 
to  keep  nim  comfortable  in  Boston  than  at  home. 

Maine  enjoys  great  facilities  for  commerce.  The  coast  is  indented  with  bays, 
abounding  in  excellent  harbors.  AU  the  settled  parts  of  the  country  lie  near  b 
market,  and  the  produce  of  the  farmtir  is  readily  exchaMed  for  money,  at  a 
good  price.    Value  of  the  exports  for  the  year  ending  Ist  hn.  1680,  #738,000. 

The  principal  article  of  export  is  lumber.  Vast  quantities  of  boards,  shin- 
gles, clapboards,  masts,  spars,  &c.  are  transported  to  the  neighboring  states,  to 
the  West  Indies,  and  to  Europe.  Much  of  uie  fire-wood  consumed  m  Boston, 
Salem,  &c.  is  brought  from  Maine.  Dried  fish  and  pickled  salmon  are  con- 
siderable articles  of  export.  Beef,  pork,  butter,  pot  and  pearl  ashes,  and  some 
grain,  are  also  among  the  exports. 

The  princi|jal  manufactures  consist  of  cotton  aud  woollen  cloths,  hats,  shoes, 
boots,  leather,  iron,  nails,  distilled  spirits,  and  cordage.  The  number  of  cotton 
mills  in  1831,  was  8 ;  capital  in  do.  $765,000;  ya^  of  doth  made  aonually, 
1,750,000.

The  first  permanent  settlement  in  Maine  was  formed  about  the  year  gj,j^ 
1630 ;  and  for  several  years  the  government  of  the  colony  was  ad-  *^' 
ministered  in  the  name  of  Sir  Fer£nando  Gorges  as  proprietor  of  the  country. 

Ill  1652,  the  inhabitants  of  Maine  were  placol  under  the  jurisdiction  of  Mas- 
si'chusetts.  The  country  was,  however,  afterwards  claimed  by  the  heirs  of 
Gorges,  but  was,  in  1677,  purchased  by  the  colony  of  Massachusetts.  From 
that  time  the  territory  formed  a  part  of  the  colony  and  afterwards  of  the  state 
of  Massachusetts,  and  was  styled,  the  District  of  Maine,  till  the  year  1820 
when  it  was  erected  l.ito  an  independent  state. 

The  constitution  of  this  state  wna  formed  in  1819,  and  went  i°to  ^^^^^^^^^,^11

Concord  is  the  seat  of  government.  Portsmouth  is  much  the  largest  town, 
and  the  only  sea-port. 

Five  of  the  largest  rivers  in  New  England  rise  either  wholly  or  in  part  in 
this  state.  These  are  the  Connecticut,  Merrimack,  Androscoggin,  Saco,  and 
Piscataqua.  The  other  most  considerable  rivers  are  the  Upper  and  Lower  Am- 
monoosuc,  Sugar  river,  Ashuelot,  Contoocook,  Mareallaway,  and  Nashua.  The 
principal  lakes  are  Winnipiseogee,  Umbagog,  Ossipee,  Sunapee,  Squam,  and 
Newfoundland  lakes. 

The  whole  extent  of  sea-coast  in  this  state,  from  the  southern  boundary  to 
the  mouth  of  Piscataqua  harbor,  is  18  miles.  The  shore  is  generally  a  sandy 
beach,  and  bordering  upon  it  are  salt  marshes,  intersected  by  creeks.  There 
are  several  coves,  convenient  for  fishing  vessels,  but  the  entrance  of  the  Piscat- 
aqua is  the  only  harbor  for  ships.  For  20  or  30  miles  from  the  sea  the  coun- 
try is  either  level,  or  varieoated  by  small  hills  and  valleys.  T!.en  commences 
a  country  tbo  surihce  of  which  is  greatly  diversified  hy  hills,  valleys,  and  seve- 
ral elevatea  mountains,  amongwUch  are  the  White  Mountains,  accounted  the 
highest  in  the  United  States.  The  other  most  considerable  summits  are  Moose- 
hillock,  Monadnoc,  Eearsarge,  Sunapee,  Ossipee,  &c  Some  of  the  mo^  re- 
markable natural  objects  of  curiosity  are  the  cave  in  Chester,  the  rocjc  in  Dur- 
ham, Bellows  fUb  in  Walpole,  and  particular/  the  Notch  of  the  White 
Mountains. 

There  is  a  great  varie^of  soil  in  this  state;  a  c(Hisi(^rable  inroporticm  is 
fertile,  wai  it  is  generally  b^ter  adapted  to  grazing  than  tillage.  The  interval 
lands  on  the  !ar^  rivers  are  esteemed  the  most  viUudlde.  These  produce  vari> 
ous  kinds  ol  gram  in  great  abundance.  But  the  uplands,  of  an  uneven  surflwe, 
and,  of  a  rocky,  warm,  moist  soil,  are  accounted  the  best  for  grazing.  The 
principal  articles  of  produce  are  bee^  pork,  mutton,  butter,  cheese,  wlnet,  rye, 
Indian  com,  oats,  barley^  pulse,  and  flax. 

In  the  township  of  Chester,  are  two  remarkable  caves.  One  called  the 
Devil's  Den  is  in  Mine  Hill,  in  Uw  western  pert.  The  hill  js  half  a  mib  p 
diameter,  and  about  400  feet  high,  almost  perpendicular  on  the  south  side.  *i^

entrance  of  the  cave,  which  u  on  the  south  side,  ia  10  yanls  above  the  baae, 
and  ailer  a  paasage,  varying  in  its  dimensions,  2S  feet  in  length,  opens  into  the 
principal  apartment,  which  is  15  or  20  feet  square,  three  or  four  feet  high, 
floored  and  ceiled  by  a  regular  rock.  From  the  ceiling  are  dependent  numer- 
ous stalactites  or  excrescences,  in  the  form  of  pears,  whose  polished  surfaces 
reflect  a  torch-light  with  innumerable  hues  and  uncommon  brilliancy. 

The  other  cave  is  on  the  west  side  of  Rattlesnake  Hill,  seven  miles  south- 
west of  the  meeting-house.  The  principal  entrance  is  eleven  feet  high  and  fonr 
wide.  It  extends  20  feet  into  the  side  of  the  hill,  and  after  forming  a  semi- 
circle of  53  feet  in  length,  passes  out  en  the  same  side. 

The  manufactures  of  New  Hampsliire  have  increased  very  rapidly  withui  a 
few  years.  There  are  now  more  than  40  cotton  and  woollen  manufactories, 
many  of  t^'^m  on  an  extensive  scale.  ^.  glvsia  manufactory  has  been  estab- 
lishe'*  ai  ne,  and  there  arc  two  iron  manufactories  at  Franconia.  The  prin- 
cipal e>-  J  'rom  New  Hampshire  are  lumber,  pot  and  pearl  ashes,  fish,  beef, 
live  citti  J,  pork,  and  flax-seed.  The  market  for  the  northern  part,  of  the  state, 
IS  Poninnd,  for  the  south-eastern,  Portsmouth  and  Newburyport ;  for  the  coun- 
try on  the  Merrimack,  Boston ;  for  the  country  on  the  Connecticut,  Hartford 
and  Boston.     The  value  of  the  exports  in  1829  was  9106,000. 

New  Hampshire  has  a  college  at  Hanover,  styled  Dartmouth  College,  with 
which  a  medical  school  is  connected ;  a  small  academical  theological  institution 
at  New  Hampton ;  and  about  80  incorporated  academies,  of  which  the  oldest 
and  best  endowed  is  Phillips  Academy  at  Exeter. 

Common  schools  are  established  throughout  the  state,  and  for  their  support 
%  sum,  amounti^,  each  year  since  1618,  to  090,000,  is  annually  raised  by  a

by  a  tax  of  cje  half  per  cent,  on  the  capital  of  the  hanks.  The  proceeds  of 
tb-:i  fund,  and  also  an  annual  income  of  #9,000  derived  firom  a  tax  on  banks, 
%n  appropriated  to  aid  the  support  of  schools. 

The  number  of  periodical  papers  in  1831,  was  16. 

There  are  in  this  State  21  banks,  viz.  at  Portgmotdh,  New  Hampshire  Bank,

m^^  The  first  English  settlement  in  New  Hampshire,  was  made  near 

^^'''  the  mouth  of  the  Piscataqua,  in  1633.  It  was  formed  into  a  sepap 
rate  government  in  1679,  before  which  it  was  under  the  jurisdiction  of  Mas- 
sachusetts. 

ConiUuiti  ^  constitution  was  established  in  1784 ;  and  iu  1792,  this  eonsti- 
•nd  govern-  tution  was  altered  and  amended,  by  a  convention  of  delegates  held  at 

*"""-  Concord,  and  is  now  in  force.  The  legislative  power  is  vested  in  a 
Senate  and  House  of  Representatives,  which,  together,  are  styled  The  Genera 
Court  of  Ne>7  Hampshire.  Every  town,  or  incorporated  township,  having  1 50 
ratable  poll!<,  may  send  one  representative ;  and  fw  every  800  additional  poUt, 
it  is  enUde  to  an  ^Iditioual  representative.  The  Senate  consists  of  12  mem* 
bers,  who  are  chosen  by  the  people  in  districts.  T^b  executive  power  is  vested 
in  a  Governor  and  a  Council,  which  consista  of  five  members.  The  governor, 
council,  senators,  and  repiresentatives,  are  all  elected  annually,  by  the  people,

The  Green  Moimtains,  from  which  the  state  derives  its  name,  come  from 
Massachusetts,  and  run  along  the  east  side  of  Bennington,  Rutland,  and  Addi- 
son counties.  In  Addison  courty  they  divide ;  the  ynatem  and  principal  chain 
continuing  a  northerly  course,  and  terminatinc  near  the  northern  boundary  of 
the  state ;  while  the  height  of  land,  as  it  is  called,  strikes  off  to  the  north-east, 
dividing  the  waters  wbidi  flow  into  the  Ccmnecticut  from  those  which  fall  into 
Aike  Memphremagog  and  lake  Champlain.  The  western  range  presents  much 
the  loftiest  summits,  btit  has  inequalities  which  afford  a  passage  for  Onion  and 
Lamoil  rivers.  The  soil  is  for  the  nrost  part  fertile,  hemg  genrrally  deep,  and 
of  a  dark  color,  moist,  loamy,  and  well  watered.  This  interval  lands  are 
esteemed  the  best ;  bordering  on  tbese  is  usually  a  strip  one  or  two  miles  wide, 
which  is  comparatively  poor,  but  beyond  this  the  land  recovers  a  fertility  nt«riy 
equal  to  that  on  the  rivers.  The  principal  productions  are  wheat,  barley,  ryp, 
Indian  com,  oats,  &c.     The  principal  export^  are  pot  and  pearl  bshes,  beef, 

Ktrk,  butter,  cheese,  &c.    The  market  for  the  northern  part  of  the  irtato  is 
ontreal ;  for  the  eastern,  Hartford  and  Boston ;  for  the  western,  New  York. 
The  amount  of  ejtports  in  1829  was  808,000  dollars.

Fort  Dummer,  in  the  aouth-eaat  part  of  Vormonf,  was  built  in  „^^^ 
1724 ;  and  Benninoton,  the  oldeat  town  in  tho  state,  waa  chartered  in  ^°^° 
1749,  by  Denning  Wentworth,  governor  of  New  Hampahire* 

The  territory  of  Vermont  waa  originally  claimed  both  by  New  Hampahire 
and  New  York ;  and  ita  political  condition  was,  for  a  considerable  time,  unset- 
tled ;  but  the  people  preferring  to  have  a  separate  government,  formed  a  consti- 
tution in  1777,  under  which  a  sovemment  waa  organized  in  March,  1768 ;  and 
in  1791,  Vermont  waa  admitted  into  the  union. 

The  Aral  conatitution  of  thia  state  was  formed  in  1777 ;  the  one  yll,'""*!^'^

elected  annually,  on  the  firat  Tuesday  in  September,  every  town  in  the  atate 
being  entitled  to  aend  one  representative.  The  representatives  meet  ^at  Mont- 
peliar)  annually  on  the  second  Thursday  of  the  October  succeeding  tneir  elec- 
tion, and  are  styled  The  General  Auembly  of  the  State  of  Vermont. 

The  executive  power  is  vested  ir,  a  governor,  lie-^tenant-govemor,  and  a 
council  of  12  persons,  who  an^  all  chosen  annually  by  the  freemen  on  the  first 
Tuesday  in  September,  and  their  term  of  office  commences  on  the  second 
Thursday  in  October.  They  are  empowered  to  commiaaion  all  officers;  to 
ait  as  juciges  to  consider  and  determine  on  impeachments ;  to  prepare  and  lay 
before  the  general  assembly  such  business  as  shall  appear  to  them  neoeasary ; 
and  have  power  to  revise  and  prapooe  amendments  to  the  laws  passed  by  the 
house  of  representatives.

The  judiciary  power  is  vested  in  a  supreme  court  consistiiw  of  three  judgea ; 
and  of  a  county  court  of  three  judgea  for  each  county.  The  judges  of  the 
supreme,  county,  and  probate  comls,  sheriffs,  and  justices  of  the  peace,  arc 
elected  annually  by  the  general  assembly. 

A  council  of  censors,  consisting  of  13  persons,  are  chosen  every  seven  years 
(first  elected  in  1799)  on  the  last  Wedne«>day  in  Mar9h,  and  meet  on  the  first 
Wednesday  in  June.  Their  duty  is  to  inquire  whetlier  the  constitution  has 
been  preserved  inviolate ;  whether  the  legislative  and  executive  branches  of 
government  have  performed  their  duty  as  guardians  '  the  people ;  whether  the 
Dublic  taxes  have  been  juatly  laid  and  collected ;  in  what  manner  the  public 
moneya  have  been  diaposed  of;  and  whether  the  laws  have  been  faithfully 
executed.

by  the  general  law  for  the  support  of  schools,  at  3  per  cent,  on  the  grand  list, 
(the  valuation  for  taxes,)  would  be  about  $51,119  42;  and  9bout  as  much 
more  is  supposed  to  be  raised  by  school  district  taxes.  The  state  has  a  lite- 
rary fund,  derived  principally  from  a  tax  of  6  per  cent,  on  Uie  an^  —\\  profits

other  moat  noted  mountains  in  the  state,  aro  Wochusct,  in  Princeton,  Mount

The  general  aspect  of  the  country  is  intcroating,  afibrding  many  highly  varied 
and  extonaive  proapects. 

The  (kco  of  the  country  is  greatly  divcraified.  The  south-raatcrn  part  is 
moetlv  level.  There  ara  also  level  districts  of  small  extent  in  the  vicinity  of 
the  iMerrimock  in  tho  north-east.  Salt  marshes  are  numerous  in  the  maritime 
parts,  though  not  very  extonaivo.  Most  of  that  part  bordering  on  tho  ava-coast, 
and  extendmg  into  the  interior  aa  far  as  the  county  of  Worcester,  may  be 
regarded  as  the  level  division,  exhibiting  no  very  considerable  elevations.  The 
five  western  counties  of  Worcester,  Hampshire,  Franklin,  Mam|)den,  and  Berk- 
■hire,  present  the  greatest  irregularity  of  surface,  and  constitute  thu  highlands 
of  the  state.  These  counties,  nowevor,  abound  in  vast  tracts  of  elevated  lands 
diversified  with  gentle  swells,  in  large  districts  of  ninc-piainH,  in  valleys  of 
various  extent,  as  well  as  in  wide  intervals,  particularly  on  Connecticut  river. 

The  soil  is  exceedingly  various,  comprising  every  description  from  the  most 
fertile  to  the  most  unproductive.  In  the  south-eastern  part  it  is  moetly  light 
and  sandy,  interspersed,  however,  with  numerous  fertile  tracts.  In  the  middle 
and  northern  parts,  toward  the  sea-coast,  it  is  of  a  much  better  quality,  though 
not  generally  distinguished  for  its  natural  fertility ;  but  by  excellent  cultivation, 
a  great  portion  of  it  is  rendered  highly  producuve.  The  middle  and  western 
parts  have  generally  a  strong  rich  soil,  excellent  for  grazing,  and  suited  to  most 
of  the  purposes  of  agriculture.  The  state  is  almost  universally  well  watered. 
Tho  streams  of  every  description  are  remarkably  clear  and  beautiful.  Tho 
farms  generally  consist  of  from  100  to  800  acres,  and  arc,  for  the  most  part, 
well  cultivated.  In  no  part  of  the  United  States  have  there  been  greater  ad- 
vaooea  made  in  agricultural  improvements  than  in  Maasachusetta.  The  country 
is  interaected  in  every  direction  by  roads,  which  are  kept  in  a  good  state  of 
npair. 

The  principal  productions  are,  Indian  com,  rye,  wheat,  oats,  barley,  \>vMa, 
beans,  buck-wheat,  potatoes,  hops,  flax,  and  hemp.  Beef,  pork,  buttci ,  and 
cheese  are  abundant  ui  most  parts  of  tho  state,  and  of  excellent  quality.  The 
county  of  Berkshire,  in  particular,  is  distinguished  for  its  extensive  dairies. 
The  state  abounds  with  orchards,  and  great  quantities  of  cider  are  annually 
made,  which  is  the  common  beverage  oi  the  innabitanta.  The  principal  culti- 
vated fruits  are  apples,  peaches,  pears,  quincea,  plums,  cherries,  and  currants. 
Gardening  is  an  object  of  attention  throughout  the  state,  and  all  the  hortulan 
vegetables  suited  to  the  climate,  together  with  a  variety  of  domestic  fruits,  are, 
in  this  way,  extensively  cultivated. 

Massachusetts  is  the  most  commercial  state  in  the  Union,  except  New  York. 
The  greatest  part  of  the  fisheries  in  the  United  States  belong  to  this  state.  The 
principal  articles  of  export  are  fish,  beef,  lumber,  pork,  ardent  spirits,  flax«seed, 
whale  oil,  spermaceti,  and  various  manufactures.  The  total  amount  in  1839. 
was  6,255,000  dollars. 

This  state  holds  the  seccmd  rank  in  point  of  manufaetures.  The  nrast  con> 
■iderable  are  those  of  cotton  cloths,  boots  and  shoes,  ardent  spirits,  leather, 
cordage,  wrought  and  cast  iron,  naila,  wooUeitt,  shipn^  straw  bonneta,  hata, 
cabinet  work,  paper,  oil,  and  muskets,  lliera  ia  an  extenaive  natioial  estab-

RHODE  ISLAND. 


wliich  are  Rhode  Island,  from  which  the  »tute  derives  its  nnmc,  Canonicut, 
Prudence,  Patiemie,  Hojie,  Dyer's,  and  Hog  Islands.  Block  Island,  off  the 
coast  in  the  Atlantic,  is  the  tiKist  soutiierly  land  Ix^longing  to  the  state. 

The  most  considerable  towns  are  Providence,  Newport,  Bristol,  Warren, 
South  Kingston,  East  Greenwich,  Smithfield,  and  the  villages  of  Pawtucket, 
and  Pawtuxet.  The  harbors  are  Newport,  Providence,  Wickford,  Pawtuxet, 
Bristolf  and  Warren. 

THe  face  of  the  country  is  mostly  level,  except  in  the  north>west  part,  which 
is  hilly  and  roiky.  The  soil  is  generally  better  adapted  to  grazing  than  till- 
age. A  large  proportion  of  the  western  and  north-western  part  of  the  s'"!e 
has  a  thin  and  lean  soil ;  but  the  islands  and  the  country  borcoring  on  Nar: . 
ganset  bay,  are  of  great  iertility,  and  are  celebrated  fw  dteir  fine  cattle,  their 
numerous  flojks  of  sheep,  and  the  abundance  and  excellence  of  their  'uutter 
and  cheese.  Here  are  found  some  of  the  finest  cattle  in  New  England.  Cider 
is  made  for  exportation.  Ck>rn,  lye,  barley,  oats,  and  in  some  places  wheat, 
are  produced  in  sufficient  quantities  for  home  consiunption ;  and  the  various 
kinds  of  grasses,  fruits,  culinary  roots  and  plants,  in  great  abundance  and  per- 
fection.    The  rivers  and  bays  swarm  with  a  variety  of  excellent  fish. 

Iron  ore  ijs  found  in  large  quantities  in  several  parts,  and  some  copper ;  there 
is  also  an  abundance  of  limestone,  particularly  in  tlie  county  of  Providence. 

The  manufactures  of  Rhode  Island  are  extensive.  They  consist  chiefly  of 
iron,  cottoTi,  woollen,  paper,  and  hats. 

In  1631  there  were  in  Rhode  Island  116  cotton  manufactories,  with  an  ag- 
gregate capital,  including  cost  of  land,  water  power,  buildings  and  machinery, 
of  $6,202,340.  These  establishments  consume  annually  10,415,678  pounds 
of  cotton,  and  make  37,121,661  yards  of  cloth.  Persons  employed  in  them, 
6,600,  includinuz  women  and  children:  aggregate  amount  of  their  wages, 
$1,177,&S!7.  There  are  likewise  in  this  state  6  bleacherics,  and  two  establish- 
ments fbi-  printing  calicxies  connected  with  the  cotton  manufactories,  with  an 
aggregati)  capital  of  •532,875,  making  the  grand  total  of  6,704,715  dollars, 
employed  in  the  manufacture  of  cotton.  The  amount  of  capital  employed  in 
the  manufocture  of  iron  and  steel,  is  $602,666,  divided  among  lU  founderies 
and  80  machine-sliops.  Cost  of  establishment  for  the  manufiicture  of  wool 
in  this  state,  including  land,  water-power,  buildings,  stock  in  trade  &c.,  is 
$268,000. 

Tl^  exports  consist  chiefly  of  flaxseed,  lumber,  horses,  cattle,  beef,  pork, 
fish,  poultry,  onions,  butter,  cheese,  barley,  grain,  spirits,  and  cotton  and  linen 
goods.    They  amounted,  in  1620,  to  890,000  dollars. 

The  climate  of  this  state  is  aa  healthy  as  that  of  any  part  of  America ;  and 
it  is  more  temperate  than  the  climate  of  any  of  the  'Otfaer  New  England  states, 
particularly  on  the  islands,  where  the  breezes  firom  the  sea  have  iMe  efiect  not 
only  tci  mitigate  the  heat  in  summer,  but  to  moderate  the  cold  in  winter.  The 
summers  are  delightful,  especially  on  the  island  of  Rhode  Island. 

In  Rhode  Island  there  are  61  banks;  11  of  which,  including  a  deposiia 
bank,  are  in  Providence ;  the  otfiera  are  in  varioas  parts  of  the  state.  The 
amount  of  capital  stock  is  $6,782,296. 

Brown  University  is  situated  at  Providence  ;  at  the  same  plane 
there  is  a  seminary  styled  the  Friends*  Boarding  School ;  and  there 
are  B  or  10  academies  in  the  stale.  Increasing  attention  has  of  late  been  p»id 
to  education ;  an^l  the  sttde  now  pays  annually,  for  the  support  of  free  schouU, 
the  sum  of  $10,v)00,  which  is  divided  among  the  several  towns  according  to 
popu'iation. 

There  are  in  the  state  10  periodical  papers. 

Tlie  following  was  the  number  of  the  various  religions  denominations  in  this 
state,  in  1831.    The  Baptists  had  16  churches,  12  ministers,  2600  cnmmuni-

Six-Principle  Baptists,  about  8  churches,  and  about  600  communicants ;  the 
Friends  are  considerably  numerous ;  and  there  are  some  Uuiversalists,  and  1 
Roman  Catiiolic  church. 

The  settlement  of  this  state  was  commenced  at  Providence,  in  1686,  by  the 
celebrated  Roger  Williams,  a  minister  who  was  banished  from  Massachusetts 
on  account  of  nis  religious  opinions ;  and  in  1638  the  settlement  of  the  island  of 
Rhode  Island  was  beeun  by  William  Coddington,  John  Clarke,  and  others. 

In  1643,  Mr.  Williams  went  to  England,  and  obtained,  in  1764,  a  charter, 
by  which  the  settlements  of  Rhode  Island  and  Providence  Plantation!!  were 
united  under  one  government,  and  which  continued  in  force  till  1663,  when  a 
new  charter  was  granted  by  Charles  II.,  which  has  ever  since  formed  the  basis 
of  the  govermnent.

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Connecticut,  Housatonic,  Thames,  Farminston, 
nnd  Naugatuck.  The  principal  harbors  are  those  of  New  London  and  New 
Haven. 

Farmington  Canal  extends  from  New  Haven  to  the  northern  border  of  the 
state,  67  miles,  where  it  unites  with  the  Hampshire  and  Hampden  Canal,  which 
leads  to  Westfield,  and  it  is  now  continueid  to  Northampton — whole  length, 
87  miles. 

Hartford,  New  Haven,  Middletown,  New  London,  and  Norwich  are  incor- 
porated cities;  Bridgeport,  Dir.our>,  Guilford,  Killingworth,  Newtown,  Stam- 
ford, Stonington,  and  Waterbury,  boroug.is. 

The  face  of  the  country  is  greatly  diversified  by  mountains,  hills  and  valleys- 
There  are  but  few  level  tracts,  nor  any  considerable  mountains.  The  greatest 
elevation  is  a  ranee  of  small  mountains  on  the  west  side  of  Connecticut  river, 
being  a  continuation  of  the  Green  Mountains.  The  hills  are  generally  of  mod- 
crate  sire,  and  occur  in  quick  succession,  presenting  to  the  traveller  an  ever- 
varying  prospect. 

The  soil  is  generally  rich  and  fertile,  though  intermixed  with  portions  that 
are  comparatively  thin  and  barren ;  and  the  whole  is  well  watered.  It  is  gen- 
erally in  a  state  of  good  cultivation,  resembling,  in  many  parts,  a  well  culti- 
vated garden.  The  principal  productions  are  Indian  com,  rye,  wheat  in  many 
parts,  oats,  barley,  buckwheat,  flex  in  large  quantities,  some  hemp,  potAtoes, 
pumpkins,  turnips,  peas,  beans,  &c.  Orchards  are  very  numerous,  and  cider 
IS  made  for  exportation.  The  state  is,  however,  generally  better  adapted  to 
grazing  than  to  tillage ;  and  its  fine  meadows  and  pastures  enable  the  farmers 
to  feed  great  numbers  of  neat  cattle,  horses,  aiil  sheep.  The  quantity  of  but- 
ter and  cheese  made  annually  is  great,  and  of  v«)U-known  excellence.  Beef 
and  pork  of  superior  quality,  are  also  abundant.  The  state  is  generally  lail 
out  in  small  farms,  from  50  to  300  and  400  acres.  It  is  intersected  by  numer- 
ous roads,  which  are  generally  kept  in  a  good  state  of  repair ;  and  is  the  third 
state  in  the  Union  in  point  of  dense  population,  containing  62  to  a  square  mile. 

Though  exposed  to  the  extremes  of  heat  and  cold,  and  to  sudden  chaiiaes  of 
temperature,  the  courtry  is  very  h'talthful.  The  north-west  winds,  which  pre- 
vail d»'.ruig  the  winter,  are  keen,  but  the  ser*inity  of  the  sky  during  the  sa»ne 
season,  makes  amends,  in  some  degree,  for  the  ^nverity.of  the  weather.  In 
the  maritime  towns,  the  weather  is  particularly  variable,  changing  as  the  wind 
blows  from  sea  or  land ;  in  the  inland  country  it  is  less  so. 

The  foreign  trade  of  this  state  is  principally  with  the  West  Indies :  but  its 
coasting  trade  is  the  most  considerable.  Its  exports  consist  of  beef,  pork,  cat- 
tle, horses,  mules,  butter,  cheese,  maize,  rye,  flax-seed,  fish,  candles,  and  soap. 
The  whole  amount,  in  1820,  was  468,000  dollars.  Almost  all  the  produce  of 
the  western  part  of  the  state  is  carried  to  New  York. 

Mines  of  different  kinds  have  been  found  in  this  state,  but  in  general  they 
have  not  been  wrought  to  any  considerable  extent.  There  is  a  lead  mine  oa 
the  Connecticut,  two  miles  from  Middletown,  which  was  wrought  during  the 
revolutionarj'  war.  Coppor  mines  have  been  discovered  and  opmed  in  several 
places,  but  having  proved  unprofitable,  have  been  neglected.  Iron  mines 
abound  in  many  parts,  and  are  prokUictive.  A  quarry  of  valuable  stone  is 
found  in  Chatham,  and  one  of  marble  in  Milford.  At  Stafford  is  a  mineral 
spring,  the  most  celebrated  in  New  England.

The  territory  of  Connecticut  originaH/  comprised  two  colonies ;  the 
colony  of  Connecticut,  and  the  cokiny  of  New  Haven. 

The  settlement  of  Hartford,  in  the  colony  of  Connecticut,  was  commenced 
by  emigrants  from  Massachusetts,  in  1636;  and  tlsat  of  New  Haven,  in  1638, 
by  emigrantc  from  England. 

In  1662,  a  charter  was  granted  by  Charles  II.,  with  ample  privileges,  uniting 
the  colonies  of  Ccnmecticut  and  New  Haven  tinder  one  government ;  but  the 
colony  of  New  Haven  refused,  for  some  time,  to  accept  the  charter,  and  the 
union  did  not  take  place  till  1666. 

The  charter  was  suspended,  in  1687,  by  Sir  Edmund  Andros ;  but  it  was 
restored  again  aflcr  the  revolution  of  1688  in  England ;  and  it  formed  the 
basis  of  tlw  government  till  1818. 

conMitution     ^®  charter  granted  in  1662  by  Charies  II.,  formfid  the  basis  of  the 
■ndrnrem-  government  of  Connecticut  till  1816,  when  the  present  constitution 

"""'*  was  framfed.  The  legislative  power  is  vested  in  a  senate  and  house 
of  representatives,  which  tc^ether  are  styled  the  General  Assembly. 

The  members  of  the  house  of  representatives  are  chosen  by  the  difierenl 
towns  in  the  state :  the  more  ancient  towns,  the  majority  of  the  whole  num- 
ber, send  each  two  representatives;  the  rest  only  one  each.  The  present 
mai^r  is  208. 

The  senate  must  oraisist  of  not  less  than  18,  nor  more  than  24  members, 
who  are  chosen  by  districts.    The  present  number  is  21. 

The  executive  power  is  vested  lii  a  governor.    A  lieutenant-governor  is  also 
ckoMD,  who  is  president  of  the  senate,  and  on  whom  the  duties  of  the  governor 
'  devolve  in  case  of  his  death,  rerignati<»i,  or  absence.

Champlain,  the  higheitt  of  win  ia  cdtiiiiated  at  nearly  3,000  ic«>t  aliovo  tlio 
lake.  The  western  (lart  uf  I  ,ito  ia  nKMtly  a  level,  or  moderately  unevdi 
country;  but  towards  the  P>!iiii»>ivania  line  it  Ijecurncs  hilly  and  broken. 

A  great  part  of  this  stuti-  liiut  a  good  soil,  and  a  conHiderublo  portion  is  cele- 
brated It"  >t8  fertility.  Much  of  tno  country  in  excellent  for  grazing ;  and  a 
great  proportion  is  exceedingly  well  adapted  to  raising  grain,  and  to  the  vari- 
ous purposes  of  agriculture.  The  level  tracts  in  the  western  part  have  a  deep 
rich  soil,  and  yield  abundant  crops  of  Indian  com,  wheat,  &c.  A  considerablo 

Grt  of  the  state  is  under  epod  cultivation,  particularly  the  west  end  of  Long 
land,  and  the  counties  of  West-Chester  and  Duchess. 

Wheat  is  raised  in  greater  abundance  than  luiy  other  kind  of  grain.  Indian 
com,  rye,  oats,  flax,  hemp,  peas,  beans,  various  kinds  of  grass,  &c.,  are  ex- 
tensively cultivated.  Orchaitis  are  abundant,  and  great  quantities  of  excellent 
eider  are  made.  Various  other  kinds  of  fruit  flourish  well,  as  pears,  peaches 
in  the  southern  part,  plums,  cherries,  iic. 

Iron  ore  is  found  in  great  abundance,  in  various  parts.  Gypsum,  limestone, 
marble,  slate,  lead,  dec,  occur  in  different  places.  Salt  Rpnngs  are  found  in 
the  counties  of  Onondaga,  Cayuga,  Seneca,  Ontario,  Genesee,  and  Oneida. 
These  springs  supply  1,441,508  iMuhela  of  salt  annually,  and  the  manufacture 
may  be  extended  to  any  desirable  quantity.  The  mineral  waters  of  New  I'ork 
•re  the  most  celebrated  in  America.  The  waif-^rs  of  Saratoga  and  Ballaton 
are  visited  from  all  parts  of  the  Union.  New  Lebanon  Springs  are  much  re- 
torted to  for  bathing.  Sulphur  springs  are  numerous ;  of  these  Cliilon  spring 
at  Farmin^n,  are  the  most  noted.  Oil  springs,  which  produce  Seneca  oil, 
are  found  m  Cataraugus  and  Alleghany  counties. 

There  are  many  natural  curiosities  in  this  state ;  the  most  celebrated  of 
which  ia  the  great  cataract  of  Niagara.  Baker's  ard  Glen's  Falls  on  the 
Hudson,  Adgate  Falls  on  Sable  river,  the  Cohoes  on  the  Mohawk,  and  the  fklls 
on  the  Genesee,  Salmon  river,  Pall  Creek,  Black  river,  and  West  Canada 
Creek,  are  all  objects  of  interest.  The  passage  of  the  Hudson  through  the 
Highlands,  Rockbridge  in  Chester,  Split  Rock  on  Lake  Champlain,  the  Ri^^ 
road  extending  from  the  Genesee  to  Lewiston,  and  the  scenery  around  Lake 
George,  are  all  regarded  as  curiosities. 

Not  long  since  there  was  discovered  on  the  north  bank  of  Black  river,  op- 
posite to  the  village  of  Watertown,  an  extraordinary  cavern,  the  mouth  of 
which  ia  about  10  rods  from  the  river.  It  has  been  but  partially  explored,  al- 
though it  is  said  to  have  been  traversed  to  the  distance  of  more  than  100 
rods.  It  is  of  vast  extent,  comprising  a  great  number  of  spacious  rooms,  halls, 
and  chambers,  with  immense  quantities  of  calcareous  concretions  in  difi^Mli; 
states,  firom  the  consistence  of  lime  mortar  to  that  of  the  moat  beautiftit  ijp^ 
laotifrj  08  hard  as  marble.  The  mouth  of  the  cavern  is  a  small  hollow,  abai^; 
0  (k<A  below  the  stfrrounding  surface  of  the  earth.  You  then  descend  1<I||m\~ 
into  a  room,  about  16  feet  by  20,  and  8  feet  hi^h ;  and  behold  in  front  of  ^iMi 
a  large  table  rock,  12  or  14  feet  square,  2  thick,  and  elevated  about  '4"fbet 
from  the  bottom  of  the  cavern ;  the  roof  over-head  is  covered  with  stakeUtea, 
some  of  which  reach  to  the  rock.  On  your  left  hand  i«  er  ambed  way  c^lfiO 
fbet,  and  on  your  right  ia  another  arched  way,  6  feet  hv:cji,  ht  tbe  bottonii  and 
6  high,  ksading  into  a  lai^  room.  Passing  by  this  arch  -ibn  it  2^^  feet,  you  ar- 
rive at  another,  which  Imds  into  a  hall  10  feet  wide,  atui  1.^0  tung,  fro^fr^S  # 
8  liigh,  supported  by  pillara  and  arches,  and  the  side  i^-nlneA  with  curtainii 
plaited  in  variegated  forms,  as  white  as  snow.  Near  the  middle  of  this  halt 
an  arched  way  extends  through,  which,  like  the  hall,  is  bordered  with  curtains, 
hung  over  with  stalactites.  Returning  into  the  hall,  you  pass  throiigh  anothei 
arch  into  a  number  of  rooms  on  the  lefl  hami,  curtained,  and  havmg  stalac- 
tites hanging  from  the  roof.  You  then  descend  10  feet  into  a  chamber  about

The  exports  of  Now  York  exceed  those  of  any  other  state  in  the  Union,  and 
amounied,  in  1820,  to  20,110,000  dollars.   They  consist  of  beef,  pork,  wheat,

^^  The  settlement  of  this  state  was  oommenced  by  the  Dutch,  in 

'''  1614,  who  named  the  country  New  Netherlands,  and  established  a 
colonial  government  in  16S9.  In  1664,  Charles  11.  of  England  granted  t 
his  brother,  the  duke  of  York,  a  patent  for  a  large  tract  of  country,  forming 
the  present  states  of  New  York  and  New  Jersey ;  and  during  the  same  year, 
cobnel  NicoUs,  with  a  considerable  force,  in  the  service  of  the  duke,  made  a 
conquest  of  the  country ;  and  the  name  of  New  Netherlands  was  afterwards 
changed  into  New  York.  In  1673,  the  colony  was  recaptured  by  the  Dutch, 
and  held  by  them  a  few  months ;  but,  with  the  exception  of  this  short  period, 
it  was  in  the  possessioo  of  the  English  from  1664  ull  the  American  Revolu-

Delaware  river  separate!  this  state  fl^pitPennsyivania,  and  the  Hudson 
forms  the  northern  part  of  the  eastern  boundary.  The  other  most  considetable 
rivers  are  the  Raritan  Passaic,  Hackensack,  Great  Egg  Harbour  River,  and 
Musconetcunk. 

Trenton  is  the  seat  of  government.  The  other  most  considerable  towns 
are  Newark,  New  Brunswick,  Blizabethtown,  Burlington,  and  Amboy. 

The  Morris  Canal  connects  the  Delaware  and  Hudson  rivers,  extending 


PROFILR  VIEW  OF  THE  MORRIS  CANAL. 

from  Easton  to  Jersey  City.  The  wliole  line  is  about  101  miles  long. 
Hopatcong  lake,  at  the  summit  level,  being  about  000  feet  above  tide-water, 
supplies  the  canal  with  water  throughout.  This  company  have  also  banking 
and  trust  privileges. 

The  Delaware  and  Raritan  Canal  extends  from  New  Brunswick,  on  the 
Raritan,  to  Bordentown,  on  the  Delaware,  a  distance  of  43  miles,  being  76 
feet  in  width  at  the  top  water-line,  and  7  feet  deep.  The  feeder  to  the  caaal 
ascends  the  Delaware  river  from  its  junction  with  the  canal  at  Trenton,  22 
miles,  and  is  60  feet  wide  and  6  deep. 

The  Camden  and  Amboy  Rail-road,  as  its  name  imports,  extends  from 
Camden,  opposite  Philadelphia,  to  South  Amboy,  on  Raritan  Bay;  is  80 
miles  and  67  chains  in  length,  and  has  a  deviation  of  only  67  chains  from  form- 
ing a  straight  line.  The  receipts  from  this  road,  for  1835,  amounted  to 
$679,463,  being  an  increase  over  the  preceding  year  of  $132,460.  The 
Delaware  and  Raritan  Canal  Company  and  this  Rail-road  Company  were 
made  by  act  of  legislature,  in  1832,  a  joint  company.  The  cost  of  property 
belonging  to  both  companies  is  •5,500,000. 

The  Paterson  and  Hudson  River  Rail-road  extends  from  Paterson  to  Jersey 
City,  a  distance  cf  19  miles. 

The  New  Jersey  Rail-road  extends  from  Jersey  City,  through  Newark, 
Elizabethtown,  and  Rah  way,  to  New  Brunswick,  ::  distance  of  37  miles. 
Provision  h  made  by  law  for  connecting  this  rov,;  .^ith  the  Camden  and

The  Canal  of  the  Trenton  Delaware  Falls  Company  fiscends  the  Delaware 
from  the  head  of  tide,  below  Trenton,  5  miles  and  63  chains.'  It  is  princi- 
pally used  as  a  head  race  for  mills,  7  of  which,  although  the  work  is  just 
eompleted,  are  already  erected  upon  it.  Tl :  ciompany  estimate  tlw  body  of. 
water  in  their  canal  as  equal  in  power  to  b%9  iioraes,  and  ?j  capable  of  being 
increased  to  an  amount  equal  to  1170  horecs. 

The  four  northern  counties,  Sussex,  Warren,  Morris,  and  Beri^en,  are 
mountainous.  The  next  four,  Hunterdon,  Somerset,  Essex,  and  Middlesex, 
are  agreeably  diversified  with  hills  and  valjeys.  South  Mountain,  a  great 
ridge  of  the  AUegbany  range,  crosses  the  state  in  lat  41  N<,  and  the  Kitta- 
tinny  ridge  crosses  a  little  to  the  north  of  South  Mountain.  The  greater  part 
of  the  six  southern  counties  is  composed  of  tho  long  range  of  level  country 
which  commences  at  Sandy  Hook,  an^  lines  the  coast  of  the  middle  and

■outhen  statei.  Much  of  tliis  range  ii  nearly  barren,  producing  t  >V  ahrub- 
oaka  and  yellow  pines ;  but  tlie  rest  of  the  state  has  a  large  pri/|<ortion  of 
good  soil,  excellent  for  grazing,  and  for  the  various  purposes  of  agriculture. 
The  productions  are  wheat,  rye,  maize,  buckwheat,  potatoes,  oats,  and 
barley.  Great  numbers  of  cattle  are  raised  in  the  mountainous  parts  for  the 
markets  of  New  York  and  Philadelphia.  Large  quantities  of  butter  and 
cheese  are  also  made. 

The  exports  arc  flour,  wheat,  horses,  cattle,  hams,  cider,  lumber,  flax-seed, 
leather,  and  iron.  The  greater  part  of  the  produce  e]:ported  from  this  state 
passes  thro  ^h  New  York  and  Philadelphia ;  and  hense  the  amount  of  the 
direct  foreign  exports  in  1829  was  but  98000. 

Great  quantities  of  leather  are  manufactured  at  the  yalnaUe  tanneries  of 
Trenton,  Newark,  and  Elizabethtown.  Large  quantities  of  shoes  are  made 
at  Newark ;  aiid  glass  is  manufactured  in  the  southern  counties,  particularly 
in  Gloucester,  to  a  great  amount.  But  the  most  important  manufacture  is 
that  of  iron.  In  the  county  of  Mortis  there  are  7  rich  iron  mines,  2  fur- 
naces. 2  rolling  and  slitting  mills,  and  80  forges.  The  annual  produce  of 
thene  works  is  about  640  tons  of  bar  iron,  800  tons  of  pig,  besides  large 
quantities  of  hollow  ware,  sheet  iron,  and  nail  rods.  There  are  also  iron 
works  in  the  counties  of  Burlington,  Gloucester,  Sussex,  &c.  The  annual 
produce  in  the  whole  state  is  computed  at  about  1200  tons  of  bar  iron,  1200 
tons  of  pig,  and  80  tons  of  nails,  exclusive  of  sk.iall  articles.

Pennsylvania  is  intersected  by  various  mountains.  The  principal  ridges  of 
the  AUeohany  mountains,  comprehended  in  Pennsylvania,  are  the  Kittatinny, 
or  the  Blue  mountains.  Behiiul  these  and  nearly  parallel  to  them,  ore  Petcura,

Between  the  Juniata  and  the  weet  branch  of  the  SuMbiehanna,  are'Ja^ui, 
Tuasys,  Nittiny,  and  Bald  Eagle  mountains.  The  valleys  between  theoe  mous- 
tsins  are  often  of  a  rich,  black  soil,  suited  to  the  various  kinds  of  gmsa  and 
grain.  Some  of  the  mountains  admit  of  CMltivation  aUnoat  to  their  suianuts. 
The  other  parts  of  the  state  are  feoendly  feveU  or  agieeaUjj'  iai9etaile4  >vith

The  total  value  of  ni..iiufactures,  including  about  250  differr  .rliclus,  is  eali* 
mated  at  (i70,OGJ,000. 

In  1831  there  were  33  banks  in  this  state,  11  of  which  w  ;  in  the  dty  of 
Philadelphia.  Since  ther.  a  number  of  others  have  been  v..iartored,  among 
which  is  the  Bank  of  the  United  States,  whose  chari(;r  from  the  federal  go- 
vernment expired  on  the  3d  of  Mnrch,  1836;  Having  failed,  after  repealed 
attempts,  to  obtain  a  recharter  from  the  same  source,  application  whs  made 
to  the  state  legislature  of  Penn.iylvnnin  for  a  charter.  This  was  granted  upon 
condition  of  paying  a  large  bonus  to  aid  the  common  school  fund  and  internal 
improvemenU  of  the  state,  and  of  Rnbacribing  largely  to  various  public  works 
under  the  control  of  companies  requiring  aid.  The  capital  of  thii  institu- 
tion is  3S  millions. 

The  principal  literary  sominaries  in  this  state  are  the  L'nivci-aity 
of  Pennsylvania  with  its  Medical  School,  at  Philndolphiaj  Dickiris<in 
College,  at  Carlisle;  Jeffertion  College,  at  Canonsburg:  Washingtor  College,

T".  r  ^Constitution  declart'S  that  "the  legislature  shall,  as  soon  as  convenient- 
ly <u^^  be,  provide  by  law  for  the  establishment  of  schools  in  such  ntanncr 
'so*  Jj  •  poor  may  be  taught  gratis."  Under  this  injunction  means  have  been

c!.i!dv<?n  of  indigent  parents.  They  are  sent  to  the  most  convenient  schoob 
of  ttM  neighborhoods  in  which  they  respectively  reside,  and  the  expense  is 
paid  by  the  county  commissioneni.  In  the  city  and  county  of  Philadelphia,

with  about  two  thousand  settlcrH,  most  of  who  <i  'ike  himself,  belonged  to  th« 
society  of  Friends  or  Quakers,  arrived  in  the  o/untrv ;  and  in  tlit>  following

From  the  beginning  of  the  18th  century  till  the  commencement  of  the 
American  Revolution,  the  government  was  generally  administered  by  deputies 
appointed  by  the  proprietaries,  who  mostly  resided  in  England.

try,  there  is  very  little  diversity  of  level.  The  highest  ridge  between  Delaware 
and  Chesapeake  bays,  passes  through  this  state.  On  tho  summit  of  the  ri(k;e 
there  is  a  chain  of  swamps,  from  which  a  numbot  of  waters  descend  on  the 
west  to  Chesapeake  bay,  and  on  the  east  to  the  river  Delaware.  Along  the 
Delaware  river,  and  about  nine  mile:-,  into  the  interior,  th*)  soil  is  generally  a 
rich  clay,  which  produces  large  timber,  and  is  well  adapted  to  the  purposes  of 
agriculture ;  but  between  this  tract  and  the  swamps  the  soil  is  light,  sandy,  and 
of  an  inferior  quality.  In  the  county  of  New  Castle  the  soil  is  a  strong  day ; 
in  Kent  it  is  mixed  with  sand,  and  in  Sussex  the  sand  greatly  predominates. 

The  principle  articles  of  produce  are  wheat,  Indian  com,  i^,  barley,  oats, 
buckwheat,  and  potatoes.  The  county  of  Sussex  contains  some  excellent 
grazing  lands,  and  it  exports  great  quantities  of  timber,  obtained  from  Cyprus 
Swamp  or  Indian  river,  which  extends  about  six  miles  from  east  to  west,  and 
nearly  twelve  from  north  to  south.  The  staple  commodity  is  wheat,  which  is 
produced  of  a  superior  quality,  and  is  highly  esteemed  for  its  uncommon  soft« 
ness  and  whiteness,  and  is  preferred  in  foreign  mark'^ts.  Large  establishments 
have  been  erected  for  manufacturing  wheat  into  flour.  Of  these  the  Brandy* 
wine  mills,  in  the  vicinity  of  Wilmington,  are  the  most  important.  These  are 
one  of  the  finest  collection  of  mills  in  the  United  States,  and  are  celebrated 
both  for  the  excellence  and  the  quantity  of  flour  which  they  manufacture. 

In  1832  there  were  tea  cotton  manufactories,  with  sua  aggregate  capital  of 
#384,500,  and  making  annually  6,203,746  yards  of  cloth.  The  other  manu- 
factures of  note  are  woollens,  paper,  and  powder. 

Delaware  contains  very  few  minerals.  In  the  county  of  Sussex  and  among 
the  branches  of  the  Nanticoke,  are  large  quantities  of  b(^  iron  ore,  wdl  adapt* 
ed  for  casting ;  but  it  is  not  wrought  to  any  extent.

PaOFILK  VIEW  OF  THE  CHESAPEAKE  AND  DEI.AWAKB  CANAL. 

This  canal,  which  lies  partly  in  Maryland,  but  chiefly  in  Delaware,  TTimjirti 
18|  miles  long,  66  wide  at  the  sur&oe  of  the  water,  and  10  feet  deep,  udAjl^ 
opens  a  highly  advantageous  communication  between  Philadelphia  ^''*'**'^^''' 
and  Baltimore,  and  other  places,  by  sloops  and  steamboats.  During  the  yew 
beginning  June  1,  1830,  and  ending  June  1,  1831,  there  were  employed 
between  Philadelphia  and  Baltimc  («,  Alexandria,  Richmond,  Petersburg,  uid 
Norfolk,  in  the  transportation  of  passengers  and  merchandise,  by  way  of  thia 
canal,  2  lines  of  steamboats  and  7  lines  cf  packets. 

There  were  made,  during  that  time,  according  to  the  oflidal  rc^rt,  the  fill* 
lowing  number  of  passages  through  this  canal : — 1230  packets,  with  merchlii* 
dise;  600  vessels,  with  wood,  carrying  13,332  cords;  272  vessels,  cafts,  and 
arks,  with  lumber,  carrying  7,118,734  feet;  204  vessels,  with  flour,  carrying 
101 ,462  barrels ;  246  vess^s,  with  wheat,  com,  &c  carrying  289,179  bushels ; 
2638  vessels  with  cotton,  iron,  oysters,  fish,  whiskey,  and  various  other  arti« 
cles,  making  a  total  of  5,280  passages  of  vessels,  of  diflerent  descriptions, 
through  the  canal  during  the  year.  I^e  tolls  received  dunng  the  same  year 
amounted  to  $62,223  15.

and  Baltimore  are  now  transported.     There  is  yet  but  one  track  completed. 

The  number  of  banks  in  1830  was  8,  viz,  3  at  Wilmington,  1  at  Newcastle, 
1  at  Georgetown,  1  at  Dover,  1  at  Smyrna,  and  1  at  Milford. 
^^  This  state  has  a  school  fund,  amounting  to  $170,000,  the  interest 

'  of  which,  together  with  a  small  tax  levied  on  each  school  district  of 
(out  miles  square,  at  the  will  of  the  majority  of  the  taxable  inhabitants,  ia 
appropriated  to  the  support  of  common  schools.  No  district  is  entitled  to  any 
share  of  the  school  fund,  that  will  not  raise,  by  taxation,  a  sum  equal  to  its 
share  of  the  income  of  the  fund.  But  few  of  the  districts  have  yet  gone  into 
operation  under  the  school  law.

mgfio„        "^^  ^*  European  settlement  in  this  state  was  formed  by  Swedes 

""'''^'  and  Finns,  in  1627 ;  in  1655,  the  colony  was  taken  from  the  Swedes 
by  the  Dutch,  under  governor  Stuyvesant ;  and  afler  the  conquest  of  New 
York  by  the  English,  in  1664,  it  was  placed  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  gov- 
emment  of  New  York. 

In  1682,  the  country  was  granted  to  William  Penn,  and  it  was  placed  under 
the  same  executive  and  legislative  government  with  Pennsylvania.  It  was  then, 
as  it  is  now,  divided  into  three  counties,  Newcastle,  Kent,  and  Sussex,  gene- 
rally styled,  till  the  American  revolution, «'  The  Thre«  Lower  Counties  upon 
the  Delaware." 

Ii»  1701,  the  representatives  of  Delaware  withdrew  from  those  of  Pennsyl- 
vania ;  the  first  ?3parate  legislative  assembly  met  at  Newcastie,  in  1704.

The  executive  power  is  vested  in  a  governor,  who  is  elected  by  the  people 
for  4  years ;  and  he  is  not  eligible  a  second  time  to  said  office. 

The  general  assembry  meets  on  the  first  Tuesday  in  January,  biennially, 
rhe  first  meeting  under  the  amended  constitution  was  in  1833.

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Potomac,  which  divides  this  state  from  Virginia, 
Susquehannah,  Patapsco,  Patuzent,  Elk,  Sassafras,  Chester,  Choptank,  Nanti- 
coke,  and  Pocomoke. 

In  the  counties  on  the  eastern  shore  of  the  Chesapeake,  the  land  is  penerally 
level  and  low,  and  in  many  places  is  covered  with  stagnant  waters,  giving  rise 
in  the  summer  and  fall  months  to  agues,  and  intermittent  fevers.  On  the  west- 
em  shore,  the  land  below  the  lowest  falls  of  the  river,  is  principally  level  and 
i>ee  from  stones.  Above  these  falls  the  country  becomes  successively  uneven 
nnd  hilly,  and  in  the  western  part  of  the  state  is  mountainous.  The  principal 
range  of  mountains  is  the  Blue  Ridge  or  South  Mountains,  which  toss  through 
the  state  in  a  northerly  direction  from  Virginia  into  Pennsylvania.  The  extreme 
western  part  of  the  state  is  crossed  by  the  Alleghany  mountains.  Between 
these  and  the  Blue  Ridge  are  several  inferior  chains,  as  Will's  moimtain,  Evit's. 
Warrior,  and  Ragged  mountains,  and  Sideling  hill.  The  soil  is  well  adapt'  d 
to  the  culture  of  tobacco  and  wheat,  which  are  the  staple  productions  o**  the 
state.  Some  cotton  of  inferior  quality  is  also  raised,  and  in  the  westerr  coun> 
ties,  considerable  quantities  of  flax  and  hemp.  Two  articles  are  o'^d  to  be 
peculiar  to  Maryland ;  the  genuine  white  wheat,  which  grows  in  Tlent,  Queen 
Ann's,  and  Talbot  counties,  on  the  eastern  shore;  and  the  '^nght  kite'a-foot 
tobacco,  which  is  produced  on  some  parts  of  the  western  sb're,  south  of  Balti« 
more.  The  forests  abound  with  vanous  kinds  of  nuts,  up'.d  for  fattening  hogs, 
which  run  wild  in  the  woods,  and  are  killed  in  consider'.ole  numbers  for  export- 
ation.   Apples  and  peaches  are  abundant. 

Excellent  roads  proceed  from  Baltimore  in  various  directions.  There  is  a 
turnpike  from  Baltimore  to  Cumberland  on  the  Potomac,  a  distance  of  186 
miles.  From  Ciunberland  to  Brownsville  on  the  Monongahela,  in  Pennsylva- 
nia, there  is  now  completed  bythe  United  States,  a  free  turnpike  road,  of  the 
most  superior  construction.  The  distance  is  72  miles,  making  the  whole  dis- 
tance from  Baltimore  to  Brownsville  207  miles.  This  is  the  shortest  and  best 
communication  yet  opened  between  the  tide  water  of  the  Atlantic  and  the  navi- 

Sible  western  waters.  A  turnpike  extends  from  Baltimore,  in  a  north-west 
rection,  16  miles,  to  Reistertown,  and  there  divides;  one  branch  tumine 
more  to  the  north  meets  the  Pennsylvania  line  in  19  miles ;  the  other  in  a  VT. 
a.  W.  direction,  runs  29  miles  in  Maryland.  . 

Iron  ore  abounds  in  various  parts  of  the  state,  and  coal  is  found  in  inexhausti- 
ble quantities,  and  of  a  superior  quality,  on  the  Potomac,  in  the  neighborhood 
of  Cumberland.  Furnaces  have  been  erected  in  various  places  for  the  manu- 
fusture  of  iron.  Glass,  paper,  and  whiskey  are  also  made  in  considerable 
quantities.  The  value  of  manufactures  in  1830,  was  $11,468,794.  The  prin- 
cipal exports  are  flour  and  tobacco.  The  value  of  the  exports  for  the  year 
•ndiog  September  30th,  1829,  was  <M,804,364.    Maryland  is  the  fourth  stat*

m  the  Union  in  amount  of  shipping,     [n  1816,  the  number  of  tons  won  166,062, 
and  in  1828,  it  was  170,948. 

In  1832  there  were  23  cotton  manufactories  in  this  state,  with  an  aggregate 
capital  of  $2,144,000,  which  make  annually  7,640,000  yards  of  cloth. 

The  Baltimore  and  Ohio  Rail-Road,  which  Baltimore  and  oiiio  rail-road. 
is  to  extend  from  the  city  of  Baltimore  to  the 
river  Ohio,  about  350  miles,  is  finished  to  the 
Point  of  Rocks,  and  is  the  greatest  enterprise 
of  the  kind  undertaken  in  America. 

The  Baltimore  and  Susquehanna  Rail-Road 
is  to  extend  from  the  city  of  Baltimore  to 
York-haven,  in  Pennsylvania. 

The  number  of  banks  and  branches  in  this  state  in  1831,  was  cigliteun,  nine 
of  which  were  in  the  city  of  Baltimore. 

The  principal  literary  seminaries  in  this  state  arc  the  University  of 
Maryland,  St.  Mary's  College,  and  Baltimore  College,  in  Baltimore ;  ''^""""»- 
and  St.  John's  College,  at  Annajsolis.  There  are  several  academies  in  the  state, 
which  receive  8800  a  year  from  the  state  treasury.  A  law  in  favor  of  primar}- 
schools  was  passed  in  1825,  and  has  been  partially  carried  into  efiect  in  two  or 
three  of  the  counties.  The  state  has  a  School  Fund  consisting  of  a  sum  ad- 
vanced by  Maryland  during  the  late  war  and  paid  by  the  national  government, 
amounting  to  $75,000,  together  with  a  tax  on  bank  capital  of  20  cents  on  $100. 
The  fund  is  at  interest,  and  the  amount  received  from  the  banks  has  also  gen- 
erally been  placed  at  interest,  to  the  credit  of  the  several  counties ;  but  in  some 
instances  it  has  been  expended  for  its  proper  object.  The  intention  of  the  state 
was,  that  it  should  be  used  to  pay  teachers  only ;  and  that  the  expense  of  build- 
ing school-houses,  and  other  expenses,  should  be  paid  by  a  tax  on  property 
within  the  several  school  districts. 
^    The  number  of  periodical  presses  in  1830  was  25. 

The  Roman  Catholics  are  the  most  numerous  sect  of  Christians  in  R,|j,|^g 
this  state ;  they  have  one  archbishop,  the  metropolitan  of  the  United  dennmint- 
States,  and  30  or  40  churches ;  the  Methodists  are  numerous ;  the     """'■ 
Episcopalians  have  67  ministers;  the  Presbyterians,  11  ministers, 6  licentiates, 
and  1,068  communicants;  the  Baptists,  15  churches,  12  ministers,  and  680 
communicants ;  the  German  Reformed,  9  ministers ;  and  the  Friends  are  con- 
siderably numerous. 

This  country  was  granted  by  Charles  I.  to  George  Calvert,  lord 
Baltimore,  a  Roman  Catholic ;  the  first  settlement  was  formed  by  his      "  '"^'  . 
son  Leonard  Calvert,  together  with  about  200  Catholics,  in  1634 ;  and  it  waa 
nimed  Maryland,  from  Henrietta  Maria,  the  queen  of  Charles. 

The  constitution  of  this  state  wtis  formed  in  1776;  since  which  p^^^j^  ^1^^^ 
time  many  amendments  have  been  made.     The  legislative  power  is  and  gnvern- 
vested  in  a  senate,  consisting  of  15  members,  and  a  house  of  dele-     !"*"*• 
cates,  consisting  of  80  members ;  and  these  two  branches  united  aie  styled 
The  Greneral  Assembly  of  Maryland. 

The  members  of  the  house  of  delegates,  four  fiom  each  county,  are  elected 
annually  by  the  people,  on  the  first  Monday  in  October ;  and  the  members  of 
the  senate  are  elected  every  fiilh  year  on  the  third  Monday  in  September,  at 
Annapolis,  by  electors  who  are  chosen  by  the  people  on  the  first  Monday  of  the 
same  month  of  September.  These  electors  choose  by  ballot  nine  senators  from 
the  Western  Shore,  and  six  from  the  Eastern,  who  hold  their  office  five  years. 

The  executive  power  is  vested  iii  a  governor,  who  is  elected  annuslly  on  the 
first  Monday  in  January,  by  a  joint  ballot  of  both  houses  of  the  general  assem- 
bly. No  one  can  hold  the  office  of  governor  more  than  three  years  hucom- 
sively,  nor  be  eligible  as  governor  until  the  expiration  of  four  yean  after  he  haa

The  staple  productions  of  Virginia  aru  wheat  and  tobacco.  Tho  uxports  ui' 
the  slate,  (or  the  year  ending  Hopl»nil)vr  .30,  18'^9,  amounted  to  99,^fi^^,^)00. 

The  state  of  Virginia  may  Iw  dividetl  into  four  xones,  esMntiully  ditTohns 
from  ono  another.  Tho  first  extending  from  the  sca-coost  to  the  termination  of 
'ide  at  Fredericksburg,  Kichmond,  ^c,  ia  low  nnd  flot,  iiometimes  fenny, 
■ometimes  sandy,  and  on  tho  margin  of  rivers  composed  of  a  rich  loam  covered 
with  a  luxuriant  and  even  rank  vegetation.  This  part  is  unhealthy  in  tha 
months  of  August,  September,  and  October. 

The  nexi  division  extends  from  tho  head  of  tide- water  to  tho  Blue  Ridge.  The 
•urfacti  near  the  tide-water  ia  level ;  higher  up  tho  rivers  it  becomes  swelling ; 
and  near  the  mountains  it  is  often  abrupt  and  broken.  The  soil  in  divided  into  sec* 
tions  of  very  unequal  quality,  parallel  to  each  other,  and  extending  throughout 
the  atate.  The  parallel  of  Cheaterfield,  Henrico,  Hanover,  dec.  is  a  thin,  sandy, 
and,  except  on  the  rivers,  an  unproductive  soil.  That  of  Goochland,  Cumber- 
land, Prince  Edward,  Halifax,  «c.,  is  generally  fertile.  Fluvanna,  Bucking- 
ham, Campbell,  Pittsylvania,  again,  art)  poor;  and  Cul^tener,  Orange,  Albe- 
marle, Bedford,  dec,  a  rich,  though  fVeauently  a  ittony,  broken  Hoil,  on  a  sub- 
•tratum  of  tenacious  and  red-colored  clay.  The  popuiotion  of  this  section, 
eanecially  near  tho  mountains,  ia  more  robust  and  healthy  than  that  of  nny 
otner  part  of  tho  state.  The  scenery  of  tho  upper  part  is  highly  picturesque 
and  romantic.  There  is  a  vein  of  lime-stone  nmning  through  Albemarle, 
Orange,  dec.  Pit  coal  of  a  good  quality  is  found  within  20  miles  above  Rich- 
mond, on  James  river. 

The  third  division  is  the  valley  between  the  Blue  Ridge,  and  North  and  Alle- 
ghany mountains ;  a  valley  which  extends,  with  little  interruption,  from  the 
Potomac,  across  the  state,  to  North  Carolina  an*)  Tennessee,  narrower,  but  of 
greater  length  than  either  the  preceding  divisions.  The  soil  is  a  mould  formed 
on  a  bed  of  lime-stone.  The  surface  of  the  valley  is  sometimes  broken  by 
•harp  and  solitary  mountains  detached  from  the  general  chain,  the  sides  of 
which,  nearly  bare,  or  but  thinly  covered  with  blasted  pines,  form  disn^rc(>able 
objects  in  the  landscape.  The  bed  of  the  valley  is  fertile,  producing  goiKl  crops 
of  Indian  corn,  wheat,  rye,  oats,  buckwheat,  hemp,  flax,  timothy,  and  clover. 
The  fkrms  are  smaller  than  in  the  lower  ports  of  Virginia,  and  the  cultivation 
is  better.  Here  are  few  slaves.  This  valley  has  inexhaustible  mines  of  excel- 
lent iron  ore.    Chalk  is  found  in  Botetourt  county. 

The  fourth  division  extends  from  the  Alleghany  mountains  to  tho  river  Ohio; 
a  country  wild  and  broken,  in  some  parts  fertile,  but  generally  Icon  or  barren 
but  having  mines  of  iron,  lead,  coal,  salt,  dec. — ^The  soil  of  a  great  proportion 
of  the  county  of  Randolph  and  the  adjacent  counties  in  the  north-wcstpart  of 
the  atate,  is  of  an  excellent  quality,  producing  large  crops  of  grain.  The  sur- 
ftoe  is  uneven  and  hilly.  Tne  county  is  well  watered,  is  excellent  for  grazing, 
nnd  has  a  very  healthy  climate. 

There  are  many  mineral  springs  in  Virginia.  The  hot  nnd  worm  springs 
of  Bath  county,  the  sweet  springs  of  Monroe  county,  the  sulphur  springs  of 
Greenbrier  and  of  Montgomery  counties,  and  the  baths  of  Berkeley  county,  are 
much  frequented.  The  most  remarkable  curiosities  are  the  Natural  Bridge, 
the  passage  of  the  Potomac  at  Harper's  Ferry,  the  cataract  of  Falling  Spring, 
and  i^voral  caves. 

Since  the  year  1827,  the  gold  mines  of  Virginia  have  attracted 
'  considerable  attention.  The  belt  of  country  in  which  they  are  found 
extends  through  Spotsylvania  and  some  neighboring  counties.  The  gold  r^on 
•bounds  in  quartz,  which  contains  cubes  of  sulphuret  of  iron.  These  cubes  are 
ofkan  partly  or  totally  decomposed ;  and  the  cells  thus  created  ara  sometimes

TIk'  Natural  Bridge,  thu  must  sublime  of  nature's  works,  is  on  the  ascent  of 
a  hill,  which  soems  to  have  b<!en  cloven  through  its  length  by  some  groat  con- 
vulsion. The  lisMure,  juitt  at  the  bridge,  is  by  some  aUmeaNurements  '270  fiiet 
deep,  by  others  only  'iM.  It  is  about  45  feet  wick)  at  the  bottom,  and  00  feet 
at  the  top — thix  of  eourso  det/>rmines  the  length  of  the  bridge,  nnd  its  height 
from  tho  water.  Thu  breadth  in  the  middle  is  about  00  feet,  but  more  at  the 
ends,  and  tht)  thickness  of  the  mass  at  tho  summit  of  the  arch,  about  40  feet 
A  part  of  this  thickness  is  constituted  by  a  coat  of  earth,  which  gives  growth 
to  many  large  trees.  The  residue,  with  the  hill  on  both  sidc^s,  is  one  solid  rock 
of  lime-stone. 

Thu  arch  appnuiclies  the  semi-elliptical  form,  but  the  larger  axis  of  the 
ellipsis,  which  would  be  the  cord  of  tho  arch,  is  many  times  longer  than  the 
transverse.  Though  the  sides  of  this  bridge  are  provided,  in  some  parts,  with 
a  parapet  of  fixed  rocks,  yet  few  men  have  resolution  to  walk  to  them  and  look 
over  into  the  abyss.  You  involuntarily  flill  op  your  hands  and  feet,  creep  to 
the  parapet,  and  peep  over  it. 

Inhe  view  from  the  top  be  painAil  and  intolerable,  that  flrom  below  is  delight- 
ful in  an  equal  extreme.  It  is  impossible  for  the  emotions  arising  out  of  the 
sublime  to  be  felt  beyond  what  they  are  here ;  so  beautiAil  an  arch,  so  elevatea, 
so  light,  and  springing,  as  it  were,  up  to  heaven,  the  rapture  of  the  spectacle  is 
really  indescriimble. 

"  The  fissure  continuing  narrow,  deep,  and  straight  for  a  considerable  dis- 
tance above  and  below  tho  bridge,  opens  a  short  but  very  pleasing  view  of  the 
North  Nfountoin  on  one  side,  and  the  Blue  Ridge  on  the  other,  at  the  distance, 
each  of  them,  of  about  five  miles.  This  bridge  is  in  the  county  of  Rockbridge, 
to  which  it  has  given  name ;  and  affords  a  public  and  commodious  passage 
over  a  valley,  whicli  cannot  be  crossed  elsewhere  for  a  considerable  lualanoe. 
The  stream  passing  under  it,  is  called  Cedar  creek.  It  is  a  tributary  of  James* 
river,  and  sufficient  in  the  driest  season  to  turn  a  grist-mill,  though  its  fountain 
is  not  moro  than  two  miles  above. 

The  following  account  is  from  another  source:  *>A8  we  stood  under  this 
beautiful  arch,  w«  saw  the  place  where  visitors  have  often  taken  the  pains  to 
engrave  their  names  upon  the  rock.  Here  Washington  climbed  up  SO  feet  and 
ca^ed  his  own  name,  where  it  still  remains.  Soime  w'«hing  to  immortaliM 
their  names,  have  engraved  them  deep  and  large,  while  others  have  tried  to 
climb  up  and  insert  them  high  in  this  book  of  flune. 

"  A  few  years  since,  a  young  man,  being  ambitious  to  piftoe  his  name  above 
all  others,  came  very  near  losing  his  life  in  the  attempt.  After  much  fatigue 
iie  climbed  up  as  high  as  possime,  but  found  that  the  person  Who  had  bnora 
occupied  his  place  was  taller  than  himself,  and  consequently  had  phioed  his 
name  above  his  reach.  But  he  was  not  thus  to  be  discouraged.  He  opened  a 
large  jiudc-knife,  and  in  the  soft  lime-stone  began  to  cut  places  for  his  hands  and 
feet.  With  much  patience  and  industry  he  worked  his  Mray  upwards,  and  sue- 
oaeded  in' earring  his  name  higher  than  the  most  ambitious  hod  done  before, 
him. 

"  He  could  now  triumph,  but  his  triumpti  was  short,  for  he  was  placed  ia

mich  a  situation  that  it  was  impossible  to  descend  unless  he  fell  upon  the  ragged 
rocks  beneath  him.  There  was  no  house  near,  from  which  his  companions 
could  get  assistance.  He  could  not  remain  in  that  condition,  and,  what  was 
worse,  his  friends  were  too  much  frightened  to  do  any  thing  for  his  relief.  They 
looked  upon  him  as  already  dead,  expecting  every  moment  to  see  him  precipi- 
tated upon  the  rocks  below,  and  dashed  to  pieces.  Not  so  with  himself.  He 
determined  to  ascend.  Accordingly  he  plied  himself  with  his  knife,  cutting 
places  for  his  hands  and  feet,  and  gradually  ascended  with  incredible  labor.  Ho 
exerted  ^very  muscle.  His  life  was  at  stake,  and  all  the  terrors  of  death  arose 
before  him.  He  dared  not  look  downwards  lest  his  head  should  become  dizzy, 
and  perhaps  on  this  circumstance  his  life  depended. 

"  His  companions  stood  at  the  top  of  the  rock  exhorting  and  encouraging 
him.  His  strength  was  almost  exhausted ;  but  a  bare  possibility  of  saving  his 
life  still  remained,  and  hope,  the  last  friend  of  the  distressed,  had  not  yet  for- 
saken him.  His  course  upwards  was  rather  oblique  than  perpendicular.  His 
most  critical  moment  had  now  arrived.  He  had  ascended  considerably  more 
than  200  feet,  and  had  still  further  to  rise,  when  he  felt  himself  fast  growing 
weak.  He  now  made  his  last  effort,  and  succeeded.  He  had  cut  his  way  not 
far  from  260  feet  from  the  water,  in  a  course  almost  perpendicular ;  and  in  a 
little  less  than  two  hours,  his  anxious  companions  reached  him  a  pole  from  the 
top,  and  drew  him  up.  They  received  him  with  shouts  of  joy ;  but  he  himself 
was  completely  exhausted.  He  immediately  fainted  away  on  reaching  the  spot, 
and  it  was  some  time  before  he  could  be  recovered  1 

"  It  was  interesting  to  see  the  path  up  these  awful  rocks,  and  to  follow  in 
imagination  this  bold  youth  as  he  thus  saved  his  life.  His  name  stands  fkr 
above  all  the  rest,  a  monument  of  hardihood,  of  rashness,  and  of  folly." 

The  passage  of  the  Potomac  through  the  Blue  Ridge,  says  Mr.  JeiSerson,  is 
perhaps  one  of  the  most  stupendous  scenes  in  nature.  You  stand  on  a  very 
high  point  of  land.  On  your  right  comes  the  Shenandoah,  having  ranged 
along  the  foot  of  the  mountain  a  hundred  miles  to  seek  a  vent.  On  your  Tefl 
approaches  the  Potomac  in  quest  of  a  passage  also.  In  the  moment  of  their 
junction  they  rush  together  against  thOimountcun,  rend  it  asunder,  and  pass  ofT 
to  the  sea. 

The  first  glance  of  this  scene  hurries  our  senses  into  the  opinion  that  the 
mountains  were  formed  first;  that  the  rl/ers  began  to  flow  afterwards;  that 
in  this  place  particularly  they  have  been  dammed  up  by  the  Blue  Ridge,  and 
have  formed  an  ocean  which  filled  the  whole  valley ;  that,  continuing  to  rise, 
they  have  at  length  broken  over  at  this  spot,  and  have  torn  the  mountain  down 
from  its  summit  to  its  base.  The  piles  of  rock  ou  each  side,  but  particularly 
on  the  Shenandoah,  the  evident  marks  of  their  disrupture  and  avulsiom  from 
their  beds  by  the  most  powerful  agents  of  nature  corroborate  the  impression. 

But  the  distant  finishing  which  nature  has  given  to  the  picture  is  of  a  very 
difl^rent  character.  It  is  a  true  contrast  to  the  foreground.  It  is  as  placid  and 
delightful  as  that  is  wild  and  tremendous.  For  the  mountain  being  cloven 
asunder,  she  presents  to  your  eye,  through  the  cleft,  a  small  catdi  of  smooth 
blue  horizon,  at  an  infinite  distance  in  the  plain  country,  inviting  you,  as  it 
were,  from  the  riot  and  tumult  roaring  around,  to  pass  through  the  breach,  and 
participate  the  calm  below. 

Here  the  eye  ultimately  composes  itself,  and  that  way  too  the  road  happens 
to  lead.  You  cross  the  Potomac  above  the  junction,  pass  along  its  side  through 
the  base  of  the  mountain  for  three  miles,  its  terrible  precipices  hauging  in  frag- 
ments over  you,  and  within  about  20  miles  reach  Fredericktown,  and  the  fine 
country  around.  This  scene  is  worth  a  voyage  across  the  Atlantic.  Yet  here, 
as  in  the  neighborhood  of  the  Natural  Bridge,  are  people  who  have  passed  their 
lives  within  a  half  dozen  miles,  and  have  never  been  to  survey  these  hmniu-

moits  of  a  war  between  rivers  and  mountains,  which  mutt  have  shakea  tbt 
earth  itself  to  its  centre. 

In  the  lime-stone  country  of  Vir^nia  there  are  several  caves  of  consideraU* 
extent.  The  most  remarkable  oiie  u  Wier's  Cave,  which  is  on  the  north  side  of 
the  Blue  Ridge,  and  on  the  south  fork  of  the  Shenandoah.  It  is  in  a  hill,  which'is 
about  200  feet  in  perpendicular  height,  and  so  steep  that  you  may  pitch  a  bis- 
cuit from  its  summit  into  the  river  which  washes  its  base.  It  was  discovered 
in  1804.  Its  entrance  is  only  about  100  yards  from  that  of  Madison's  Cave, 
another  celebrated  cavern,  which,  though  it  has  been  much  longer  known,  is 
greatly  inferior  to  Wier's  Cave.  The  following  is  an  account  of  a  visit  to  this 
extraordinary  place. 

There  were  three  of  us,  besides  our  guide,  with  lighted  torches,  and  our  Icons 
girded,  now  ready  to  descend  into  the  cave.  We  took  our  lights  in  our  left 
hands,  and  entered.  The  mouth  was  so  small,  that  we  could  descend  only  by 
creeping  one  after  another.  A  descent  of  almost  20  yards  brought  us  into  the 
first  room.  The  cave  was  cold,  dark,  and  silent.  In  this  manner  we  proceeded, 
now  descending  30  or  40  feet — now  ascendL-g  as  high — ^now  creeping  on  our 
hands  and  knees,  and  now  walking  in  large  rooms,  the  habitations  of  solitude. 

The  mountain  seems  to  be  composed  almost  wholly  of  lime-stone,  and,  by 
this  means,  the  cave  is  lined  throughout  with  the  most  beautiful  incrustations 
and  stalactites  of  carbonated  lime,  which  are  formed  by  the  continual  dripping 
of  the  water.  These  stalactites  are  of  various  and  elegant  shapes  and  colors, 
often  bearing  a  striking  resemblance  to  animated  nature.  At  one  place  we  saw 
over  our  heads  what  appeared  to  be  a  waterfall  of  the  moat  delightful  kind, 
descending  12  or  16  feet.  Nor  could  the  imagination  be  easily  persuaded  that 
it  was  not  in  reality  a  waterfall.  You  could  see  the  water  dashing  and  bdling 
down,  with  its  white  spray  and  foam,  but  it  was  all  solid,  carbonated  lime-stone. 
Thus  we  passed  on  in  this  world  of  solitude ;  now  stopping  to  admire  the 
beauties  of  a  single  stalactite ;  now  wondering  at  the  nw^nificence  of  a  large 
room ;  now  creeping  through  narrow  passages,  hardly  wide  enough  to  admit 
the  body  of  a  num ;  and  now  walking  m  superb  galleries,  until  we  came  to  the 
largest  room,  called  Washington  Hall.  This  is  certainly  the  most  elegant  room 
I  ever  saw.  It  is  about  270  feet  in  lomgth,  about  35  in  width,  and  b^ween  80 
and  40  feet  high.  The  roof  and  sides  are  very  beautifully  fjomed  W  the  tin* 
sels  which  nature  has  bestowed  in  the  greatest  profiision,  and  which  ^larUe 
ike  the  diam<md,  while  surveyed  by  the  light  of  torches.  The  floor  is  flat, 
smooth,  and  solid. 

I  was  foremost  of  our  little  party  in  entering  this  room,  and  was  not  a  litth 
startled  on  approaching  the  centre,  and  by  my  small  light  seeing  a  figure  as  it 
were  rising  up  before  me,  out  of  solid  rock.  It  was  not  far  from  seven  ftet 
high, 'and  corresponded  in  every  respect  to  the  comnxm  idea  (^  a  ghost.  It 
was  very  white,  and  resembled  a  tall  man  clothed  in  a  shroud.  V't  went  up  to 
it  sideways,  though  I  could  not  really  expect  to  meet  a  ghost  in  a  pteoe  like  this. 
On  examination,  I  found  it  was  a  very  beautiful  piece  of  the  carbonate  of  lime^ 
very  transparent,  and  very  much  in  the  shape  of  a  roan.  This  is  calM  Wash- 
ington's Statue. 

hi.  one  ro(»n  we  found  an  excellent  spring  of  water,  which  bcMled  up,  slaked 
our  thirst,  sunk  again  into  the  mountain,  and  was  seen  no  more.  la  another 
room  w.-'ff  a  noble  pillar,  called  the  Tower  of  Babel.  It  is  composed  entirely 
of  ^altptiCcj  of  lime,  or,  as  its  appearance  would  seem  to  suggest,  of  petrifiad 
water.  It  is  abmit  30  feet  in  dieuoneter,  and  a  Uttle  more  than  90  in  oireumier- 
enoe,  and  about  30  high.  It  would  appear  as  if  there  must  be  many  milUons 
of  stalactites  in  this  one  pillar. 

Thus  we  wandered  in  this  world  within  a  world  till  we  had  visited  IS  very 
beautiful  rooms,  and  as  many  creq>ing  places,  and  had  now  arrived  at  the  end,

mile.  We  here  found  ourselves  exceedingly  fatigued ;  but  our  torches  forbade 
our  delay,  and  we  once  more  turned  our  lingering  steps  towards  the  common 
world.  When  arrived  again  at  Washington  JIall,  one  of  the  company  three 
times  discharged  a  pistol,  whose  report  was  truly  deafening.  It  was  as  loud  as 
any  cannon  I  ever  heard,  and  as  its  sound  reverberated  and  echoed  through 
one  room  after  another,  till  it  died  away  in  distance,  it  seemed  Uke  the  moan> 
ings  of  spirits.  We  continued  our  wandering  steps  till  we  arrived  once  more 
at  daylight,  having  been  nearly  three  hours  in  the  cavern.

Virginia ;  which  name,  though  now  limited  to  a  sinsle  state,  at  thie  time  of  the 
settlement  was  applied  to  all  the  country  in  America  lyinf^  between  lat.  84° 
and  45°  N.  The  early  history  of  the  colony  is  replete  with  interesting  and 
affecting  incidents,  occasioned  by  dangers  and  calamities ;  by  sickness,  want, 
and  contests  with  the  Indians. 

By  this  constitution  the  legislative  power  is  vested  in  a  senate  and 
a  house  of  delegates,  which  are  together  styled  The  General  Asscm-  tiwConMitu 
bly  of  Virginia.  The  house  of  delegates  consists  of  134  members,  '^S"',"^'' 
chosen  annually ;  31  from  the  26  counties  west  of  the  Alleghany 
mountains ;  25  from  the  14  counties  between  the  AlWhany  mountains  and 
Blue  Ridge ;  42  from  the  29  counties  east  of  the  Blue  Ridge,  and  above  tide- 
water ;  and  86  from  the  counties,  cities,  towns,  and  boroughs  lying  upon  tide- 
water. The  senate  oousiBts  of  82  members,  18  from  the  counties  west  of  the 
Blue  Ridge,  and  10  from  the  counties,  cities,  towns,  and  boroughs  east  thereof. 
The  senators  are  elected  for  four  years ;  and  the  seats  of  one-fourth  of  them 
are  vacated  every  year.  In  all  eiectioos  to  any  ctBce  or  place  of  trust,  honor, 
or  profit,  the  votes  aito  given  qienly,  or  viva  voce,  and  not  by  ballot. 

A  reapportitmment  &  representatives  in  both  houses,  is  to  take  place  every 
ten  years,  commencing  in  1841,  until  which  time  there  is  to  be  no  change  in 
the  number  of  del^jates  and  senators  firom  the  several  divisions ;  and  after  1841,

two  houses  of  the  general  assmibly.  He  holds  his  office  tluee  years,  com- 
mencing on  the  1st  ^  January  next  succeeding  his  election,  or  on  such  other 
day  as  may  be,  firom  time  to  tune,  prescribed  by  law ;  and  he  is  ineligible  for 
the  three  years  next  after  the  expiration  of  his  term  of  oflice.

years,  by  the  joint  vote  of  the  two  houses ;  the  seat  of  one  being  vacated  an- 
nually.   The  senior  counsellor  is  lieutenant-governor. 

Tlie  judges  of  the  supreme  court  of  appeals  and  of  the  superior  courts  are 
elected  by  a  joint  vote  of  both  houses  of  uie  general  anembly,  and  hold  their 
ofRoea  during  good  behavior,  or  until  removed  by  a  concurrent  vote  of  both 
houses ;  but  two-thirds  of  the  members  present  must'concur  in  such  a  vote,  and 
the  cause  of  removal  be  entered  on  the  journals  of  each  house. 

The  right  of  sufirage  is  extended  to  every  white  male  citizen  of  the  common- 
wealth, resident  therein,  aged  21  years  and  upwards,  who  is  qualified  to  exer-

monwealth within  the  preceding  year,  and  actually  paid  the  same. 

It  was  enacted  by  the  l^;islature,  thct  the  state  elections  for  the  year  1881 
should  be  held  in  the  month  of  August,  cm  the  respective  court  days  in  the  dif-

NORTH  CAROLINA. 


Alon^  the  whole  ooaat  of  North  Carolina  is  a  ridge  of  aand,  wparated  from 
the  inaiii  land,  in  some  places  by  narrow  sounds,  in  otliera  by  broad,  bays. 
Hie  passages  or  inlets  through  it  are  shallow  and  dangerous,  and  Ocracoke 
inlet  IS  the  only  one  north  of  Cape  Fear,  through  which  vessels  pass.  In  the 
cwuoties  on  the  sea-coast,  the  land  is  low,  and  covered  with  extensive  swamps 
•nd  marshes,  and  for  60  or  80  miles  from  the  shore  is  a  dead  level.  Beyond 
this,  the  country  swells  into  hills,  and  in  the  most  western  part  rises  into  moun* 
tains.  Coal  has  lately  been  found  in  Chatham  county,  and  lead  ore  a  few  miles 
north  of  Raleigh.  The  principal  riven  are  the  Chowan,  Roanoke,  Pamlico 
Neuce,  Cape  I^ar,  Yadkin,  Catawba,  and  Broad.  Most  of  the  produce  of 
North  Carolina  is  exported  from  the  neighboring  states.  Not  a  single  point 
has  yet  been  found  on  the  coast,  within  the  limits  of  the  state,  at  which  a  safe 
and  oonunodious  port  could  be  established.  Hitherto  the  productions  of  the 
northern  parts  of  the  state,  lying  on  the  Roanoke  and  its  branches,  and  also  on 
the  umier  parts  of  the  Tar  and  Neuse,  have  been  sent  to  the  markets  of  Virmnia ; 
and  tM  trade  of  Broad  river,  the  Catawba,  and  the  Yadkin,  has  gone  to  South 
Carolina.  The  principal  exports  are  pitch,  tar,  turpentine,  lumber,  rice,  cotton, 
tobacco,  wheat  and  Indiaa  com.  The  value  of  the  exports  from  the  ports  of 
North  Carolina  in  1820  was  only  •664,000. 

In  the  level  parts  the  soil  generally  is  but  indiflerent.  On  the  banks  of  some 
of  the  rivers,  however,  and  particularly  the  Roanoke,  it  is  remarkably  fertile ; 
and  in  other  parts,  glades  of  rich  swamp,  and  ridges  of  oak-land,  of  a  black 
and  ihiitftil  soil,  ferm  an  exception  to  its  general  sterility.  The  sea-coast,  the 
sounds,  inlets,  and  lower  parts  of  rivers,  have  invariably  a  soft  muddy  bottom. 
That  part  of  the  state  which  lies  west  of  the  mountains,  is,  for  the  most  part, 
lemarkaUy  fertile,  and  abounds  with  oak  trees  of  various  kinds,  walnut,  elm, 
line,  and  cherry  trees ;  the  last  of  which  grows  there  to  such  a  aiae  that  many 
of  them  are  three  feet  in  diameter.  The  soil  and  productions,  in  the  hilly 
country,  are  nearly  the  same  as  in  the  northern  states.  Wheat,  rye,  barley, 
oats,  and  flax,  are  the  crops  most  generally  cultivated,  and  seem  to  suit  well 
the  nature  of  the  soil.  Throughout  the  whole  state,  Indian  com  and  piulse  of 
•11  kinds  are  abundant.    Cotton  is  raised  in  considerable  quantities. 

Of  the  plains  in  the  low  country,  the  large  natural  growth  b  almost  iiniver- 
sally  pitch  pine,  a  tall  and  beautiml  tree,  which  erows  here  to  a  size  far  supe- 
rior to  the  pitch  pine  of  the  northern  states.  This  valuable  tree  affords  pitch, 
tar,  tuipentine,  and  various  kinds  of  lumber,  which^  together,  constitute  about 
one-half  of  the  exports  of  North  Carolina.  It  is  of  two  kinds,  the  common  and 
the  long-leaved.  The  latter  difiers  from  other  pines,  not  in  shape,  but  in  the 
length  m  its  leaves,  which  are  nearly  half  a  yard  long,  and  hang  in  lar^  clus- 
ter*. The  trees  in  the  low  countries  both  of  North  and  South  Carolina,  are 
loaded  with  quantities  of  a  long,  spongy  moes,  which,  hanging  in  clusters  from 
the  limbs,  give  to  the  forests  a  singnhr  appearance.  The  misletoe  frequently 
engrafts  itmlf  upon  the  trees  in  the^ack  country.  In  this  part  plums,  grapes, 
Uackberries  and  strawberries  grow  spontaneously;  also  several . valuable 
medicinalplants,  as  ^nseng, Vir^nia snake-root,  Seneca  snake-root, and  some 
others,  llie  rich  bottoms  are  overgrown  with  canes,  the  leaves  of  which  con- 
tinue green  through  the  winter,  and  afibrd  good  pasture  for  cattle. 

North  Carolina  is  &r  removed  from  that  perfection  of  culture  which  is  neces- 
SUV  to  give  it  the  fiiU  advantage  of  the  natural  richness  of  its  soil  and  the  value 
of  lis  productions.    One  oreat  cause  of  its  backwardness  in  agricultural  im- 
prevement,  is  the  want  of  inland  navigation  and  of  good  harbors.

The  first  account  of  gold  from  North  Carolina,  on  the  records  of  the  mint  of 
the  United  States,  occurs  in  1814,  in  which  year  it  was  received  to  the 
amount  of  $11,000.  It  continued  to  be  received  during  the  swxweding  years, 
until  1824  inclusive,  in  difierent  quantities,  but  less  than  that  of  1814,  and  ua 
an  average  not  exceeding  #2,500  a  year.  In  1826,  the  amount  received  was 
$17,000;  m  1826,  #20,000;  in  1827,  about  #21,000;  in  1638,  nearly 
#46,000;  in  1820,  #128,000;  and  in  1830,  #204,000. 

These  mines  are  very  extensive ;  and  a  succet'Mon  of  ^old  mines  has  been 
discovered  in  the  country  lying  to  the  east  of  the  Blue  Ridge,  extending  from 
the  vicinity  of  the  river  Potomac  into  the  state  of  Alabama.  These  mines  are 
now  wrought,  to  a  greater  or  less  extent,  in  the  states  of  Virginia,  North  Caro- 
lina, South  Carolina,  and  Georgia.

The  principal  literary  institution  in  this  state  is  the  University  of  -^^y^ 
North  Carolina,  at  Chapel  Hill.  Academies  are  established  at  various 
places.  The  state  has  a  literary  fund,  arising  from  bank  dividends,  6k. 
amounting  to  upwards  of  #70,000.  It  is  provided,  that  when  this  ibnd  shall 
have  accumulated  to  a  sufficient  amount,  the  income  of  it  shall  be  divided 
among  the  several  counties,  in  proportion  to  the  free  population,  for  the  support 
of  common  schools. 

There  are  12  periodical  presses  in  this  state. 

The  Baptists  in  this  state  have  14  associations,  273  churches,  130  j^i,.,,^ 
ministers,  and  16,630  communicants ;  the  Presbyterians  have  120  tmmSSnu

The  first  permanent  settlements  were  formed  about  the  mic'.dle  c^ 
the  seventeenth  century.  North  Carolina  was  long  united  under  the  ^'^' 
same  government  with  South  Carolina:  it  wa8  for  many  years  called  the 
County  of  Albemarle,  or  the  County  of  Albemarle  in  CarcMina,  and  about  the 
beginning  of  the  18th  century,  the  Colony  of  North  Carolina.  As  eariy  «a 
1716,  it  had  a  separate  legislative  assembly,  at  which  Charles  Eden  was  gov- 
ernor ;  and  in  the  year  1727,  it  was  formed  into  an  entirely  distinct  province. 

The  constitution  of  North  Caroliiu  was  agreed  to  and  resolved  cmauiMiaa 
upon,  by  representativeo  chceen  for  that  purpose,  at  Halifax,  Decern-  ud  rmn? 
ber  18,  1776.  ■"«• 

llie  legislative  authority  is  vested  in  a  body,  styled  The  General  Aaaenbiy, 
consisting  of  a  senate  and  a  house  of  oonunons,  both  electM  annually  by  the 
people.  One  senator  and  two  members  <^  the  house  of  comiiAns  are  sent  from

Tlie  distrnguishing  virtues  of  the  Cardinians  are  hospitality  to  atrangeiv,  and 
charity  to  the  indigent  and  distressed.  The  planters,  rho  in  general  have  krga 
incomes,  live  in  a  luxurious  and  splendid  style,  devoting  much  olT  their  time  to 
the  pursuit  of  pleasure,  and  possessing  much  c^that  pride  and  dignity  of  mint 
which  charaoteriie  an  independent  country  gc^lsmaa.  The  virtues  or^tha 
farmers  of  the  upper  country  are  less  brilliant,  but  more  substantial.  Tliey 
have  fewer  vices,  are  of  more  fhigal  and  industrious  habits,  and  exhibit  arreatar 
fortitude  in  the  ivjverses  of  fortuno.  Labor  in  the  lower  country  is  perfermed 
abnost  entirely  by  slaves. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Waccamaw,  yadet,  Black  River,  Santea, 
Cooper,  Ashley,  Stono,  Edisto,  Asheppo,  CamVab'^  Cooaaw,  Broad,  and 
Savannah. 

South  Carolina  is  divided  by  nature  into  two  parts.,  .rliioll,  flron  their  phyai* 
cal  situation,  have  been  called  Upper  and  Lower  Carolina.    The  latter  k 


lAipposed  to  have  once  been  under  the  dominion  of  the  ocean.  Towards  tlM 
ooast  the  country  is  a  level  plain,  extending  more  than  100  miles  westward 
from  the  sea.  Here  the  eye  finds  no  relief  firom  the  doll  aniformity  of  bound* 
less  forests^  swamps,  and  level  fields.  This  fatiguing  plain  is  succeeded  by  a 
curious  range  of  little  aand-hills,  exactly  resemUing  tiie  wavte  of  an  agitatod 
cea.  Hub  singular  country  occupies  an  extent  of  about  00  miles.  It  is  ez< 
tremely  barren,-  enlivened  here  and  there  by  spots  of  verdure,  or  by  aonw 
strangling  pines ;  and  its  few  inhabitants  earn  a  scanty  subsistence  by  the  eul> 
tivation  S[  com  and  sweet  potatoes.  After  passii^  tliese  eand-hills,  we  eome

This  ifl  a,  fine  belt  of  land,  extending  from  the  Savannah  to  Broad  River,  fertile, 
well  cultivated,  and  watered  by  considerable  streams.  The  country  beyond 
this  ridge  resembles,  in  its  scenery,  tho  most  interesting  of  the  northern  states. 
The  traveller  is  ^ratitied  by  tho  iifcasant  alternation  or  nill  and  dale ;  the  lively 
verdure  of  the  hMIs  is  contrasted  with  the  deeper  tints  of  tho  cxtcnHivo  forests, 
which  decorate  their  sides ;  and  in  the  valleys  broad  rivers  roll  their  streams 
through  the  varied  beauties  of  luxuriant  and  cultivated  fields.  Prom  these  de> 
lightful  regions  tho  ground  stilt  continues  to  rise  till  wo  reach  tno  western  limit 
oi  tho  stuto.     Hero  7  or  8  mountains  run  in  regular  direction,  the  most  distin- 

Mulshed  nf  which  is  Table  Mountain ;  other  mountains  are  Oolcnoy,  Oconee, 
'at'm\  (ilossey,  Hogback,  and  King's.     Thoae  are  all  in  tho  districts  of  Pen- 
dleton, (3rcenville,  Spartanburg,  and  York. 

The  soil  of  South  Carolina  is  divided  into  6  classes:  1.  Tide-swamp.  3. 
Inland  swamp.  8.  High  river  swamp,  or  low  grounds,  distinguished  by  the 
name  of  second  low  grounds.  4.  Salt  nuirsh.  0.  Oak  and  hickory  high  land. 
6.  Pino  barren.  Tno  first  two  classes  are  peculiarly  adapted  to  the  culture  of 
rioR  and  hemp ;  the  third  is  most  favorable  to  the  growth  of  hemp,  corn,  and 
indigo.  The  salt  marsh  has  been  much  neglected.  The  oak  and  hickory  land 
is  remarkably  foi-tile,  and  well  adapted  to  tlie  culture  of  com,  os  well  as  indigo 
and  cotton.  The  pine-barren,  though  the  least  productive,  is  so  much  moro 
salubrious  than  the  other  soils  in  the  low  country,  that  a  proportion  of  pine- 
barren  is  an  appendage  indispensably  necessary  to  every  swamp  plantation. 

The  staple  commwlities  of  this  state  are  cotton  and  rice,  of  which  great 
cjuantitics  are  annually  exported.  These  articles  have  so  engrossed  the  atten- 
tion of  the  planters,  that  the  culture  of  wheat,  barley,  oats,  and  other  crops 
equally  useful,  but  loss  profitable,  has  been  almost  wholly  noplected.  So  littlo 
wheat  is  raised  throughout  the  state,  that  considerable  quantities  are  annually 
imported.  Cotton  was  not  raised  in  any  considerable  quantities  till  as  late  as 
1705.  Before  that  period  indigo  was,  next  to  rice,  the  most  important  article 
nf  produce ;  but  it  is  now  neglected.  Tobacco  thrives  well.  The  exports,  in 
1829,  amounted  to  §8,179,409.  The  fruits  which  flourish  best  are  pears, 
iwmegranatea,  and  water-melona ;  the  latter,  in  particular,  grow  to  an  enor- 
mous size,  and  ore  superior  perhaps  to  any  in  tho  world.  Ouer  finiita  are  figs, 
apricots,  nectarines,  apples,  peaches,  olives,  ahnonds,  and  oranges. 

The  period  of  vegetation  comprehends,  in  favorable  years,  from  7  to  8 
months,  commeiwing  in  January  or  February,  and  terminating  in  October  or 
November.  The  firasts  generally  in  the  months  of  November,  December,  Jan- 
uary, and  February,  are  too  severe  for  the  deUcato  productions  of  more  southern 
latitudes.  The  low  country  is  seldom  covered  with  snow ;  but  the  mountains 
near  the  western  boundary  are  often  mantled  in  that  wiatry  robe.  Frost  some* 
times  binds  up  the  earth,  but  seldom  penetrates  deeper  than  two  inches,  or  lasts 
longer  than  three  or  four  days.  At  some  seasons,  and  partici  Nrly  in  Feb- 
ruary, the  weather  is  very  variable.  The  temperature  has  been  known  to  vary 
46  d^prees  in  ono  day.  In  Charkaton  finr  Mven  yean  the  thennometer  was 
not  kniawn  to  rire  above  08  degrees,  or  to  fall  below  17  abov«  0.  The  number 
of  extreme  hot  days  in  Charleston  is  seldom  more  than  80  in  a  year ;  and  there 
are  about  as  many  sultry  nights,  in  which  the  heat  and  cloaeness  of  the  air  are 
such  as  to  prevent  the  enjoyment  of  sound  sleep. 

The  low  country  is  bfested  with  all  the  diaeaaes  whidi  spring  firosn  a  warm, 
moist,  and  unelutic  atmosphere.  Of  these  the  most  firequent  are  fevers,  from 
which  the  inhabitants  sufler  mcne  than  fitom  any,  or  perhaps  from  all  other  dia- 
eaaes together.  The  districts  of  the  upper  oountry  enjoy  as  sahibrious  a  cli- 
mate as  any  part  of  the  United  States.  ' 

The  Santee  Canal,  23  miles  long,  forms  a  junction  between  the  Santee  and 
the  Cooper  riv«r,  which  flows  into  Charleston  harbor ;  and  it  opens  to  the  city

the  commerce  of  the  bitonor  of  South  and  North  OaroUna.  A  raiUroad  Itan 
Charleaton  to  Hamburg, on  the  Savannah,  oppo.i'ite  to  Augusta,  I'VO  miles  leog, 
is  now  in  progress.  Several  miles,  extondmg  from  Charioston,  were  oom> 
pleled  in  1680,  and  a  looomotive  8leam.car  haa  been  placed  upon  it,  moving  at 
the  rale  of  16  milea  an  hour. 

Gold  is  found  in  considerable  quantities ;  the  amount  received,  at  the  United 
States'  mint,  in  1880,  from  this  atate,  waa  #96,000. 

There  are  9  banks  and  branches  of  banks  in  this  state ;  6  at  Charleston,  1 
at  Columbia,  1  at  Ueorgotown,  and  1  at  Camden. 

The  principal  literary  institutions  of  this  state  are  the  College  of  u^^,,,,,. 
South  Carolina,  at  Columbia,  and  Charleston  College,  in  Charioston. 
The  college  of  South  Caroliua  has  been  built  and  supported  by  the  state  Icgis- 
lature ;  awl  the  sum  of  nearly  §300,000  haa  been  expended  upon  the  buildinos, 
library,  philosophical  appwatua,  and  occaaional  repairs.  In  addition  to  this, 
the  legislature  makea  na  aanHtl  appropriation  of  aoout  $15,000  to  defray  the 
expenses  of  the  inHihitioBjaad  it  also  supports  two  beDsfioiaries  at  the  coUego, 
at  the  annual  espaaae  of  WOO  each. 

The  legislatuN  makes  an  annual  appropriation  of  nearly  $40,000  for  the 
support  of  free  schools.  The  Conuniiraaers  of  Free  Seboois,  at  the  session 
of  the  legislature,  in  1888,  rspotted  that  640  schools  were  eetabliahed  through- 
out  the  state,  b  iHiich  0,OM  sdholani  were  faiatnicted,  at  the  expense  of 
$80,716.    The  annual  appropriatioo,  in  1890,  was  $87,800. 

The  number  of  periodical  preaaea  in  1881,  was  10. 

The  Methodists  m  this  state  have  04  preachers  and  30,114  mem-  g,|,,hMit 
hers ;  the  Baptista,  0  associations,  100  churches,  181  ministers,  and  ihinamiu- 
13,816  communioanta  { the  Preabyterians,  77  churches,  46  miniaters,     """^ 
7  licentiates,  and  6,671  communicants ;  the  Epiaoopalians,  84  ministers ;  there 
are  also  some  Aaaooiate  Preabyterians,  Lutherans,  Roman  Catholics,  and  Uni- 
tarians. 

This  state,  together  with  North  Carolina  and  Georgia,  waa  first  granted  to 
the  earl  of  Clarendon  and  others,  by  Charlea  IT.,  in  1608;  and  the  fintt  per- 
manent settlement  was  made  at  Charleston,  in  1660. 

South  Carolina  was  (or  a  considerable  time  the  seat  of  the  revolutionary 
war ;  and  Charleston  and  Camden,  also  the  places  named  Eutaw  Springs  and 
Cowpens,  were  rendered  memorable  by  warlike  achievements. 

The  first'  conatituticn  of  this  state  was  formed  in  1770;  the  oomum- 
present  constitution  was  adopted  in  1790.  The  legislative  authority  Hon  ■mi  go. 
m  vested  in  a  General  Assembly,  consisting  of  a  Senate  and  a  House  **'"■>*"'■ 
of  Representatives.  The  senate  consists  o(  40  members,  who  are  elected  by 
districts  lor  four  years,  one  half  being  chosen  biennially.  The  houae  of  repre- 
sentatives  consiata  of  194  membera,  who  are  apportioned  among  the  several 
districts,  according  to  the  number  of  white  inhabitants  and  taxation ;  and  are 
elected  for  two  years.  The  representatives  and  one  half  of  the  aenaton  are 
chosen  every  second  year,  en  the  second  Monday  in  October  and  the  day  fol- 
lowing. 

The  executive  power  is  vested  in  a  governor,  who  ia  elected  for  two  yean, 
by  a  joint  vote  of  the  aenate  and  hoose  of  lepresentativos,  at  every  firet 
meeting  of  the  house  of  representatives.  A  governor,  after  havina  perform- 
ed the  duties  of  the  oflhe  for  two  yetatf  cannot  be  re-elected  till  aAer  the 
expiralk)n  of  four  years.  At  the  tune  of  the  election  of  governor,  a  Heu- 
tenant-governor  is  chosen  in  the  same  manner,  and  for  uie  same  period. 
The  general  assembly  meets  Annually,  at  ColumUa,  on  the  fourth  Monday  in 
November.  The  chancellor  and  judges  are  appointed  ^  the  joint  baDot  of 
the  senate  and  house  of  representatiyee,  and  hdd  their  offices  during  good  be- 
havior. The  constitution  grants  the  right  of  soffirage  to  every  free  white 
male  eitixen,  of  the  age  of  81  years,  having  resided  in  the  state  two  years  pre-

*   The  principal  rivers  are  the  Savannah,  Ogschee,  AUamaha,  Satilla,  Oak- 
mulgee,  Oconee,  St.  Mary's,  FUnt,  Chatahoochee,  TaJle^poosa,  and  Coob-". 

The  coast  of  Georgia  for  four  or  five  miles  inland  is  a  salt  marsh,  mostly 
uninhabited.  In  front  of  tUs,  towards  the  sea,  there  is  a  chain  of  islands  of  a 
gray  rice  soil,  covered  in  their  natural  state  with  pine,  hickory,  and  live  oak, 
and  yielding  on  cultivation  sea-isiand  cotton.  The  principal  of  theaa  islands 
are  Wassaw,  Ossabaw,  St.  Qttharine's,  Sapello,  St.  Simon's,  Jekyl,  aad  Com- 
berland.  Back  of  the  salt  marsh  there  is  a  narrow  margin  of  land,  oC  neariy 
the  same  quality  with  that  o€  the  islands.  In  the  rear  of  this  maifin  com- 
mences the  pine  barrens.  The  rivers  and  creeks  are  everywhere  bordered 
with  swamps  or  marsh,  whidi,  at  every  tide,  for  fiAeen  or  twenty  nileB  from 
the  coast,  are  either  whUly  or  partially  overflowed.  These  constitnte  the  rice 
plantations.  The  pine  barrens  extend  from  60  to  90  miles  firom  the  sw,  beyond 
which  the  country  beomnes  uneven,  diversified  with  hills  and  mountains,  of  a 
stnmg,  rich  soil,  producing  cotton,  tobacco,  Indian  com,  wheat,  and  adi«r  kinds 
of  fl^H.  The  north-western  part  of  the  state  is  moontainous,  and  abounds  in 
sulmme  and  pictures(}ue  scenery. 

The  soil  of  Georgia  is  various ;  but  a  large  proportion  of  it  is  very  produc- 
tive. At  a  distance  Ccota  the  sea  it  chanaes  from  gray  to  red ;  in  some  places 
it  is  gravelly,  but  fertile ;  and  farther  back  into  the  country  its  tint  is  gndnally 
deepened,  till  it  becomes  what  is  called  the  mulatto  soil,  consisting  of  black 
mould  and  red  earth.  This  sort  of  land  is  generally  strong,  and  afimds  abun- 
dant crops  of  wheat,  tobacco,  com,  &c  It  is  suooeedad  in  its  turn  by  a  soil 
that  is  nearly  black,  and  very  ridi,  on  which  an  large  quantities  of  black 
walnut  and  mulberry. 

The  staple  commodities  of  this  state  are  cotton  and  rice,  of  whidi  great 
quantities  are  exported.  The  forests  afibrd  an  abundant  supply  of  fine  timber, 
ooBsisUng  chiefly  of  oak,  pine,  hickory,  mulberry,  and  cedai'.    The  kinds  of

olives,  lemons,  limes,  citrona,  pears,  and  peaches.  The  pine  barrens  pro- 
duce grapes  of  large  size  and  excellent  flavour.  The  exporu,  which  consist 
chiefly  of  cotton,  rice,  lumbar,  tobacco,  canes,  deer-skins,  and  maize,  amounted, 
in  1829,  to  4,981,939  doUara. 

The  winters  in  Georgia  are  mild  and  pleasant ;  snow  is  seldom  seen,  nor 
is  vegetation  interrupted  b^,'  severe  frosts.  The  thermometer  usually  fluctuates 
between  40  and  60  degrees.  In  the  low  country,  in  the  vicinity  of  the  swamps, 
bilious  complaints  and  fevers  are  very  common,  during  the  months  of  July, 
August,  and  September.  At  the  approach  of  this  season,  the  rich  planters,  with 
their  faoulies,  remove  either  to  the  sea  islands,  or  to  more  elevated  situations. 
There  are  several  valuable  mineral  springs  in  this  state ;  one  near  Wash- 
ington ;  one  in  Jefierson  county,  12  miles  south-east  of  Louisville ;  and  an* 
otnev  in  Madimn  county,  five  miles  from  Danielsville. 

Two  considi«rable  tribes  of  Indians  reside  partly  within  the  chartered  limits 
of  this  state ;  tht  Cherokees  in  the  north-western  part,  and  the  Creeks  in  the 
western.  The  Cherokees  have  made  greater  advances  in  the  arts  of  oiviliied 
life  than  any  other  tribe  of  North  American  Indians.  A  treaty  with  tham  -; 
was  ratified  on  the  23d  of  May,  1896,  by  which  they  agree  to  remove  west 
of  the  Mississippi  river,  where  the  undisturbed  possession  of  7,800,000  acres 
of  land,  with  the  right  of  self  government,  as  far  as  is  compatible  with  the 
well  being  of  tiie  adjoining  districts,  is  guaranteed  them  for  ever.  In  eonsi- 
daratien  m  this  guarantee,  and  of  five  millions  of  ddUaia,  they  relinquish  all 
landa  owned  by  them  east  of  the  Miaaiasippi,  to  the  United  States. 

Gold  ia  found  in  oonsidenUe  quaotitiea  in  thia  state.  The  amount  received 
from  Geoi^a,  at  the  United  States'  mint,  in  1830,  was  <M12,000.  The  gold 
mines  which  have  been  diacovoied  are  in  the  northern  part  of  the  state,  near 
the  sources  of  the  Catahooche,  Tallapoosa,  and  Coosa. 

There  are  19  banks  and  branches  m  this  state,  4  at  Savannah,  4  at  Augusta, 
3  at  Milledseville,  1  at  Washington,  1  at  Darien,  1  at  Jonesborough,  1  at  Eaton- 
ton,  3  at  Macon,  and  1  at  Columbus. 
The  state  jpcnitentiary  is  at  Milledgeville. 

The  principal  literary  seminary  in  this  state  is  Franklin  College,  or  the  Uni- 
versity of  Georpa,  at  Athou,  which  has  funds  to  the  amount  of  $186,000,  of 
which. 9100,000  are  invested  in  the  Bank  of  the  State  of  Georgia,  which  stock 
the  state  guaranties  to  yield  eight  per  cent,  pef  annum. 

The  ftfiowing  statement  ?ek>W  to  educamm  is  given  by  Mr.  Sherwood  in 
his  "  Gazetteer  of  Greorgia." — '^  Inere  are  about  80  incorporated  academies  in 
this  state,  64  of  which  have  been  brought  into  operation.    The  average  num- 
ber of  pupils  in  each,  is  47=3,0f  8.    ui  the  northern  and  southern  sections  Df 
the  state,  there  are  probably  6  common  schools  in  each  county ;  40  counties ; 
30  pupils  each  =6,000.    In  the  middle  secticNi,  say  7  common  schools  in  each

common  schools,  14,258."    The  state  possesses  "  Academy  and  Poor  School 
Funds"  to  a  considerable  amount.    By  an  act  of  the  legislature  of  1792,  each 
county  academy  was  allowed  to  purchase  the  valtie  of  £l,QOO  of  confiscated 
property :  1,000  ac)«s  of  land  in  each  county  were  granted  for  the  aiqiport  of 
schools ;  and  also  a  fiind  of  9250,000,  to  be  vested  in  stocks  for  the  same  purpoae. 
In  1831  there  were  20  periodical  presses  in  this  state.

^^       The  first  English  settlement  of  Georgia  was  eommenced  lb  1783, 

^'^'  at  Savannah,  by  ^neral  Oglethorpe,  together  with  160  persons. 
OoaMitation     "^      ^"^  constitution  of  Georgia  was  formed  in  1T77 }  a  seomd, 
and  |o^-  in  1785 ;  and  a  third,  the  one  now  in  qwration,  in  1798.   The  legis* 

"*"*•  lative  power  ia  vested  in  a  senate  and  house  of  representatives,  which 
together  are  styled  the  General  Assembly.  The  members  of  both  houses  are 
chosen  annually  on  the  first  Monday  in  October.  One  senator  is  elected  fbr 
each  county,  and  the  number  of  repres^itatives  is  in  proportion  to  populati<Mi, 
including  three  fifths  of  all  the  people  of  color ;  but  each  ooimty  is  entitled  to 
at  least  one,  and  no  one  to  more  than  four,  members.  The  executive  power  is 
vested  in  a  governor,  who  was  formerly  elected  by  the  general  assemMjr ;  but 
he  is  now  (and  ever  since  1624  elected  by  the  perale  on  the  first  Momhy  in 
October )  and  he  holds  the  office  for  two  years.  The  general  assembly  meets 
(at  Milledgeville)  on  the  first  Monday  in  P^vember ;  unless  convened  at  another 
time  by  the  governor.  The  constitution  grants  the  right  of  suiTrage  to  all 
"citizens  and  inhabitants,  who  have  attained  the  age  of  31  years,  and  have 
paid  all  the  taxes  which  may  have  been  required  of  Uiem,  and  which  they  may 
have  had  opportunity  of  paying,  agreeably  to  law,  for  the  year  preceding  tlw 
election,  and  shall  have  renoBd  six  months  within  the  county." 

The  judicial  power  is  vested  in  a  Superior  Court  and  in  such  iiforior  juriiK 
dictiaoB  as  the  legislature  may,  from  time  to  time,  ordain  and  establish ;  and 
the  superior  and  inferior  courts  sit  twice  in  each  county  every  year.  The  judges 
of  the  Superior  Court  are  elected  by  the  legislature  for  three  yean ;  the  justices 
of  the  inferior  courts,  and  justices  of  the  peace,  are  elected  quadriennially  by 
thepeople ;  and  the  clerks  of  the  superior  and  inferior  courts  biennially* 

llie  annual  salary  of  the  governor  is  8,000  dollars* 

This  state  sends  nine  representatives  to  congress.

The  southern  part  of  the  country,  which  borders  on  the  gulf  of  Mezioo  and 
West  Florida,  for  the  space  of  60  miles  wide,  is  low  and  level,  covered  with 
pine,  cypress,  and  loblolly ;  in  the  middle  it  is  hilly,  with  some  tracts  of  open 
land ;  the  northern  part  is  somewhat  broken  and  mountainous,  and  the  country 
generally  is  more  elevated  above  the  sea,  than  most  other  parts  of  the  Untied 
States  at  equal  distance  from  the  ocean.  The  Alleshany  nkmntains  terminate

Alabama  possesses  sieat  diversity  of  soil,  clunate,  natural,  vegetable,  and 
mineral  productions.  Occupying  the  valley  of  the  Mobile,  and  its  tributary

margin  of  many  of  the  rivers  there  is  a  considerable  quantity  of  cane  bottom 
land,  of  great  fertility,  generally  from  a  half  to  three  quarters  of  a  mile  wide. 
On  the  outside  of  this  is  a  space,  which  is  low,  wet,  and  intersected  by  stagnant 
water.-  Next  to  the  river  swamp,  and  elevated  above  it  ten  or  fiAeen  feet,  sue* 
ceeds  an  extensive  body  of  level  land  of  a  black,  rich  soil,  with  a  growth  of 
hickory,  black-oak,  post-oak,  dog-wood,  poplar,  &c.  After  this  come  the 
prairies,  which  arc  wide-spreading  plains  of  level,  or  gently  waving  land, 
without  timber,  clothed  with  grass,  herbage,  and  flowers,  and  exhibiting  in  the 
month  of  May  the  <iiost  enchanting  scenery. 

Cotton  is  the  staple  of  the  state.  Other  productions  are  corn,  rice,  wheat, 
rye,  oats,  &c.  The  sugar-cane,  the  vine,  and  the  olive,  it  is  supposed,  may  bo 
cultivated  with  success.  Coal  abounds  on  the  Cahawba,  the  Black  Warrior, 
&c. ;  and  valuable  iron  ore  is  found  in  some  parts  of  the  state. 

The  climate  of  the  southern  part  of  the  bottom  land  bordering  on  the  rivers, 
and  of  the  country  bordering  on  the  Muscle  Shoals,  is  unhealthy.  In  the  ele- 
vated part  of  the  country  the  climate  is  very  fine ;  the  winters  are  mild,  and  the 
summers  pleasant,  being  tempered  by  breezes  from  the  Gulf  of  Mexico. 

The  Cherokee  and  the  Creek  Indians  possess  a  largo  tract  in  the  eastern  part 
nf  Alabama ;  and  the  Choctaws  and  Chickasaws  havo  possessions  in  the  west. 
In  1831  there  were  three  banks  in  this  state,  including  a  branch  of  the 
United  States  Bank  at  Mobile. 

The  University  of  Alabama,  at  Tuscaloosa,  is  a  new  but  well-endowed 
institution.  It  was  incorporated  in  1620,  by  an  act  of  the  state  legisla- 
ture. By  an  act  of  Congress,  March  1819,  one  section  of  land,  containing  640 
acres,  was  granted  to  the  inhabitants  of  each  township  for  the  use  of  schools, 
and  72  sections,  or  two  townships,  for  the  support  of  a  seminary  of  learning. 
The  funds  of  the  university  consist  of  the  proceeds  of  these  lands. 
-  There  have  been  24  academies  incorporated  in  the  state,  up  to  1882. 
Internal  im-  By  an  act  of  congress,  March  2, 1810,  it  was  provided  that  5  per 
proTemont.  gent,  of  the  neat  proceeds  of  all  the  sales  of  public  lands  in  this  state, 
made  subsequently  to  September  1,  1819,  should  be  reserved  for  making  public 
roads  and  canals,  and  improving  the  navigation  of  rivers.  Three-fifths  of  the 
amount  were  directed  to  be  applied  to  these  objects  within  the  state,  and  two-fifths 
to  the  making  of  a  road  or  roads  leading  to  the  state,  under  the  direction  of  con- 
gress. This  act  gave  rise  to  what  is  commonly  called  the  "  Three  per  cent. 
Fund,"  which  has  been  vested  in  the  bank  of  the  state  of  Alabama ;  and  it 
amounted,  according  to  Ibe  report  of  the  state  treasurer,  on  the  26th  of  Novem- 
ber, 1829,  to  $96,355  77.  A  board  of  internal  improvement,  to  consist  of  six 
commissioners,  was  cstabUshed  by  the  general  assembly  in  January,  1830,

objects  of  public  utility,  as  roadt>,  canals,  &c. 

On  the  23d  of  May,  1828,  congress  made  a  grant  to  this  state  of  400,000 
acres  of  relinqui^ed  and  unappropriated  lands  for  improving  the  navigation  of 
the  Muscle  Shoals  and  Colbert  Shoals  in  the  Tennessee ;  nnd  likewise  for  im- 
(nooving  the  navigation  of  the  Coosa,  Cahawba,  and  Black  Warrior  rivers.

Mobile,  in  the  southern  part  of  Alabama,  was  settled  long  since  by 
the  Spanish ;  yet  the  territory  which  now  forms  this  state  contained 
but  very  few  civilized  inhabitants  before  1810.  Since  that  time  its  ricrease  in 
population  has  been  exceedingly  rapid. 

Alabama  was  erected  into  a  turritorial  government  in  1817 ;  the  inhabittuits 
formed  a  constitution  in  1610;  and  in  182U,  it  was  admitted  into  the  Union.

The  legislative  power  is  vested  in  two  branches,  a  senate  and  house  _. 
of  representatives,  which  together  are  styled  The  General  Assembly  andgovviii" 
of  the  State  of  Alabama.  The  representatives  are  elected  annually^  """'• 
and  are  apportioned  among  the  diflerent  counties  in  proportion  to  the  white 
population ;  the  whole  number  cannot  exceed  100,  nor  fall  short  of  60.  The 
senators  are  elected  for  three  years,  and  one-third  of  them  are  chosen  every 
year.  Their  number  cannot  be  more  than  oue-third,  nor  less  than  one-fourth 
of  the  number  of  representatives.  The  executive  power  is  vested  in  a  governor, 
who  is  elected  by  the  people,  for  two  years ;  and  is  eligible  four  years  out  of 
six.  The  representatives  and  one-third  of  the  senators  are  elected  annually  on 
the  first  Monday  in  August  and  the  day  following ;  and  the  governor  is  elected 
biennially  at  the  same  time.  Tlie  general  assembly  meets  annually  (at  Tus- 
caloosa) on  the  fourth  Monday  in  October.  The  right  of  suiTrage  is  possessed 
by  every  white  male  citizen  of  21  years  of  age,  mio  has  resided  within  the 
state  one  year  next  preceding  an  election,  and  the  last  three  months  within  the 
county,  city,  or  town,  in  which  he  ofiers  his  vote.  The  judicial  power  is  vested 
in  one  supreme  court,  in  cirouit  courts,  and  such  inferior  courts  as  the  general 
assembly  may,  from  time  to  time,  direct  and  establish.  The  judges,  after  No> 
vember  in  1838,  are  to  be  elected  by  a  joint  vote  of  both  houses  of  the  general 
assembly,  every  six  years. 

The  annual  salary  of  the  governor  is  f3,000.    This  state  sends  five  repre 
aentatives  to  congress.

Fnfulatioii  at  dijfereiU  Period*, 
The  country  now  forming  the  states  of  Mississippi  and  Alabama  was  erect- 
ed into  a  tiwritorial  government  by  the  name  of  the  Mississippi  Territory,  in 
1798,  and  so  continued  till  1817.    Population  in  1800,  8,600;  in  1610,

1830,    136,606    Increase  from  1820  to  1830,  61,868  66,609 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Mississippi,  Pearl,  Pascagoula,  Yazoo,  Black, 
Tennessee,  and  the  western  branches  of  the  Tombigbeo.  The  Mississippi 
forms  the  western  boundary  from  lat.  81°  to  10°  N. ;  808  miles  in  a  right  line, 
but  by  the  course  of  the  river  near  700  miles. 

The  southern  part  of  the  state,  extending  about  100  miles  north  from  the  Gulf 
oS  Mexico,  is  mostly  a  champaign  country,  with  occasional  hills  of  moderate 
elevation,  and  is  covered  with  forests  of  the  long-leaved  pine,  interspersed  with 


cypress  swamps,  ofea  prairies,  and  inundated  marshm.  A  considerable  por- 
tion of  this  ]Mirt  is  susceptible  of  cultivation.  The  soil  is  generally  sandy, 
sometimes  gravelly  and  clay3y.  It  is  capable  of  producing  cotton,  com,  in- 
di^,  sugar,  garden  vegetables,  plums,  cherries,  peaches,  i^  sour  oranges, 
and  ^i^iGS. 

In  proceeding  north,  the  face  of  the  country  becomes  more  elevated  and 
agreeably  diversified.  The  groiwth  of  timber  consists  of  poplar,  hickory,  oak, 
block  walnut,  sugar-maple,  buckeye,  elm,  hackberry,  &c.,  and  the  scmI  is  ex- 
ceedingly fertile,  producing  abundant  crops  of  cottcm,  com,  sweet  potatoca,  in- 
digo, garden  v^^etables,  and  fruit.  Neaily  all  the  country  watered  by  the 
Yeaoo  is  described  as  incomparably  fertile,  well  watered,  and  healthftd. 

Cotton  is  the  staple  prodtuction  of  the  state.  Peaches  and  figs  are  the  fruits 
most  easily  produced.   Apples,  plums,  lemcms,  and  oranges  are  cranmon. 

The  climate  is  temperate,  and  in  this  elevated  parts  generally  healthy.  The 
local  situation  of  this  state,  the  fertility  of  its  soil,  the  temperature  of  its  cli- 
mate, and  the  value  of  its  productions,  will  doubtless  eause  it  to  remain  ao  im- 
portant part  of  the  Union. 

The  Choctaw  and  Chickasaw  Indians  possess  a  laige  portion  of  the  territory 
of  this  state,  embracing  the  northern  and  eastern  parts.  The  tracts  possessed 
by  these  tribes,  comprise  some  of  the  finest  parts  of  the  state,  aboundmg  with 
extmisive  and  beautiful  prairies.  The  Choctaws  and  Chickasaws  have  well 
cultivated  fields,  and  great  numbers  of  horses,  cattle,  hogs,  and  sheep.  Many 
of  them  are  mechanics,  and  their  women  spin  and  make  cloth. 

There  are  8  banks  and  branches  in  this  state ;  -.  iz.  8  at  Natchez,  1  at  Port 
Gibson,  2  at  Vicksburg,  1  at  Woodville,  and  1  at  Rodney.

JeArsoD  College,  at  Washington,  was  established  in  1802,  and 
has  received  liberal  endowments  in  public  lands  from  the  federal  go- 
vernment. It  is  pleasantly  situated ;  the  building  are  large  and  commodious ; 
the  course  of  study  is  similar  to  that  of  West  Pomt ;  and  the  number  of  cadets 
or  students,  in  1630,  was  98. 

There  are  other  seminaries  in  difierent  parts ;  but,  although  an  interest  in 
education  is  manifested  in  the  diflerent  counties,  yet  no  system  of  primary 
schools  has  been  adopted.  The  state  has  a  Literary  Fund,  amounting,  at 
present,  to  827,000,  derived  from  the  donation  of  the  general  gnvemment, 
rents  of  lands,  three  per  cent,  on  all  sales  of  public  lands,  fines,  finieitures, 
&c.   But  no  portion  of  it  is  available  till  it  shall  amount  to  $60,000. 

In  1820,  a  Board  of  Internal  Improvement  was  organized  by  theiatmMiia. 
legislature,  consisting  of  the  governor  and  three  commissioners.  The  pn»»«»t«i. 
board  was  authorized  to  employ  a  civil  engineer,  and  to  negotiate  a  loan  of 
the  sum  of  $200,000  upon  the  credit  of  the  state,  to  bo  appropriated  for  the 
improvement  of  the  navieable  streams  and  public  roads  within  the  state.  By 
an  act  of  congress,  passed  March  1, 1817,  five  per  cent,  of  the  neat  prooeeds 
of  the  sales  of  the  public  lands  within  the  state,  was  reserved  for  makmg  roads 
and  canals ;  and  three-fifths  of  this  (called  the  Three  per  cent.  Fund)  are  sub* 
ject  to  appropriation  by  the  state  legislature  to  those  objects  tpUhin  the  state; 
the  other  two-fifths  are  at  the  dispoml  of  congress  for  roads  leadiqg  to  the 
state. 

The  number  of  periodical  papers  in  1881  was  10. 

The  Methodists  m  this  state  have  28  preachers,  and  6,018  mem*  g^^,^ 
hers;  the  Baptists,  8  associations,  68  churches,  12  ministers,  and  dmoaUu. 
1,714  communicants;  the  Presbyterians,  26  churches,  21  ministers,     ''"^ 
3  licentiates,  and  about  060  communicants ;  the  Episcopalians,  4  mnnstars , 
and  there  are  some  Roman  Catholics. 

The  first  settlement  of  whites  in  Mississippi  was  made  by  the 
French  at  Natchez,  about  the  year  1716;  in  1729,  these  cotoniits 
were  massacred  by  the  Natchez  Indians ;  but  in  the  sucoeediog  year,  this  once 
powerful  tribe  was  extirpated  by  the  French. 

But  few  American  settlements  were  made  in  this  country  till  near  t!ta  end 
of  the  last  century.  In  1800,  the  territory  was  erected  into  a  separate  fo- 
vemment,  and,  m  1817,  mto  an  independent  state. 

The  constitution  of  this  state  was  formed  at  the  town  of  Washing-  cbMiua- 
ton,  in  AuOTJst,  1817.  Uoa  wrf  go- 

The  legislative  power  is  vested  in  a  Senate  and  a  House  of  Rapre-  '«»■»"•• 
sentatives,  which  are  together  styled  The  General  Assembly  of  the  State  of 
Mississippi. 

The  representatives  are  elected  annually  on  the  fir^i  Monday  in  August,  in 
the  ratio  of  one  to  every  3,000  white  inhabitants.  Each  county,  however,  is 
entitled  to  one ;  and  the  present  whole  number  is  88.  According  to  dte  ooosti- 
tution,  when  the  number  of  white  inhabitants  exceeds  80,000,  the  number  of 
representatives  cannot  be  less  than  80,  nor  more  than  100. 

The  members  of  the  senate  are  elected  for  three  years,  one  third  bemg 
chosen  annually.  Their  number  cannot  be  less  than  one  fourth,  nor  man 
than  one  third  of  the  whole  number  of  representatives. 

The  executive  power  is  vested  in  a  governor,  who  is  elected  by  the  people, 
for  two  years,  on  the  first  Monday  in  August.  At  every  election  of  governor, 
a  lieutenant-^vemor  is  also  chosen,  who  is  president  of  the  senate,  and" on 
whom  the  executive  duti3£i  devolve  in  case  of  the  d  ath,  resignation,  or  abeenoe 
of  the  governor. 

The  general  assembly  meets  (at  Jackson)  annually  on  the  first  Monday  in 
November. 

The  right  of  suffrage  is  granted  to  every^  free  white  male  citizen  of  the

Three  quarters  of  the  state  are  without  an  elevation,  that  can  be  ^^^  ^  ^^ 
properly  called  a  hill.  Tho  pine  woods  generally  have  a  surface  of  oountijr. 
a  very  particular  character,  rising  into  fine  swells,  with  table  sur-  **"'  **" 
faces  on  the  summit,  and  valleys  from  30  to  40  feet  deep.  But  they  are  with- 
out nny  particular  range,  and  like  the  waves  of  a  high  and  regular  sea.  The 
alluvial  soil  is  level,  and  the  swamps,  which  are  the  only  inundated  alluvions, 
are  dead  flats.  The  vast  prairies  which  constitute  a  large  portion  of  the  surfhce 
of  the  state,  have,  in  a  remarkable  degree,  all  the  distinctive  aspects  of 
prairies.  To  the  eye  they  seem  as  level  as  the  still  surface  of  a  lake.  Thev 
are,  except  the  quaking  prairies,  higher  and  drier  than  the  savannas  of  Flori- 
da. A  range  of  hills  commences  in  gentle  elevations  in  Opelouaas,  rises 
gradually,  and  diverges  towards  the  Sabine.  In  the  vicinity  of  Natchitoches 
It  preserves  a  distance  intermediate  between  the  Sabine  and  Red  Riven,  and 
continues  to  increase  in  elevation  to  the  western  parts  of  the  state.  Seen  from 
the  Pine  Hills  above  Natchitoches,  they  have,  in  the  distance,  the  blue  outline 
of  a  range  of  mountains.  AnoUier  line  of  hills,  not  far  from  Alexandria, 
commences  on  the  north  side  of  Red  River,  and  separating  between  the  water* 
of  that  river  and  Dudgcmony,  unites  with  another  line  of  hills,  that  bound  the 
alluvions  of  the  Washita,  as  bluffii,  gradually  diverging  from  that  river,  as 
they  pass  beyond  the  western  limits  of  the  state.  The  new  and  remote  painak 
taken  from  Natchitoches,  called  Claiborne,  or  Allen's  Settlement,  is  a  hign  and 
rolling  country. — ^There  are  considerable  hills  beyond  the  Mississippi  alluvions, 
oast  of  that  nver.  But,  generally  speaking,  Louisiana  is  one  immense  plain 
divided  into  pine  woods,  prairies,  alluvions,  swamps,  and  hickory  aiia  oak 
lands.

They  have  almost  invariably  u  |NMjr  noil,  Nntlicivntly  duKribcd  in  our  account

creeka  are  more  common,  with  muro  oxtonsivo  and  aomowhat  richer  bottom* ; 
and  there  is,  perhaps,  a  groatcr  proportion  of  lauruls,  oaks  and  hickories 
among  the  pines.  The  greater  proportion  of  the  prairies  is  second-rate  land. 
Some  of  those  west  or  OiHilousas,  and  botwovn  Washita  and  Rod  River,  an 
even  sterile.  Some  parts  of  tho  prairies  of  C)))olousas  are  of  groat  fortilitv,  and 
dioM  of  Attakapas  still  more  so.  As  a  general  fact,  they  are  more  level  than 
those  of  tho  upper  country.  A  lar^  belt  of  those  prairies,  near  the  gulf,  is 
low,  marshy,  and  in  rainy  weather  inundated.  A  very  considerable  extent  of 
them  has  a  cold  clayey  soil,  with  a  hard  pan  near  the  surface.  In  other  places 
the  aoil  is  of  inky  blackness,  and  disposed  in  tho  hot  and  dry  season  to  crack 
in  fissuren,  of  a  size  to  admit  a  man's  arm. 

The  bottoms  are  goncrnliy  rich,  but  in  very  difforcnt  degrees.  Those  of  the 
Mississippi  and  Rod  River,  and  the  bayous  connected  with  those  streams,  are 
more  fertile  and  productive  than  the  streams  west  of  them,  and  between  them 
and  the  Sabine.  The  fertility  of  tho  richer  bottoms  of  the  Mississippi  and  Red 
River  is  sufficiently  attested  by  tho  prodifrjous  growth  of  tho  timber,  the  luxu- 
riance, size,  and  ranknoss  of  the  cano  and  the  cotton,  tho  tangle  of  vines  and 
creepers,  the  astonishing  size  of  l!hb  weeds,  and  the  strength  of  vegetation  in 
general.  We  have  measured  a  Ac^-tree,  and  a  sumach,  both  ordinarily  con- 
sidered as  shrubs,  which  were  large/  than  a  man's  body.  The  richness  of  the 
articles  of  cultivation  is  sufficiently  v  :11  known.  The  cotton  on  fresh  lands 
of  the  richest  quali^  grov/n  to  tho  skze  of  a  considerable  shrub. 

1^  districts  of  Louisiana,  which  have  tho  richest  soil,  are  the  following : — 
1st.  The  island  of  New-Orleans.  This  is  so  denontinated  in  geography,  and 
correctiv*  Not  fhr  below  Baton  Rouge,  a  bayou,  or  efflux,  called  Manshac,  or 
Ibberville,  makes  out  from  the  Mississippi,  which,  in  its  course,  receives  other 
waten,  imtil  swollen  into  a  considerable  river,  it  iklls  into  lake  Maurepos. 
That  again  is  connected  by  a  narrow  gorge  with  lake  Ponchartrain,  and  that 
by  the  rigolets  wi'h  >nke  Borgne  and  the  Gulf.  The  Mississippi  insulates  it  on 
the  other  side.  C'r'wquently,  the  island  of  New-Orleans  is  a  narrow  strip  of 
land,  stretcliinff  b';'wecri  this  range  of  lakes  and  the  river.  About  one  third  of 
the  averaf^  width  of  this  strip  is  under  cultivation.  The  oiher  two  thirds  are 
swamp.  Its  front  is  the  eastern  bank  of  the  Missir^ippi ;  and  its  rear  is  this 
bayou  and  this  line  of  lakes.  The  bayou  Manshac,  which  completes  the 
inmilar  character  of  this  tract,  is  narrow,  and  is  seldom  seen  by  persons  de- 
scending the  Mississippi.  This  tract  is  the  finest  port  of  that  rich  country, 
called  ute  coast.  Tne  cotut  is  that  part  of  the  bottom  of  the  Mississippi, 
which  oommenoes  with  tho  first  cultivation  above  the  Belize,  that  is  to  say, 
about  40  miles  below  New-Orleans,  and  150  above.  This  belt  on  each  side 
of  the  river  is  secured  by  an  embankment,  called  a  levee,  from  6  to  8  feet  en 
height,  and  sufficiently  broad,  <br  the  most  part,  to  fbmish  a  fine  highway. 
The  river,  in  ordinary  inundations,  would  cover  the  greater  port  of  this  belt 
from  two  to  six  feet  in  depth.  It  is  from  one  to  two  miles  in  width,  and  per- 
haps a  richer  tract  of  land  of  tho  same  extent  cannot  be  found  on  the  face  of 
the  globe.  The  levee  extends  something  higher  on  the  west  than  on  the  east 
side  of  the  river.  Above  the  levee  on  the  cast  bank  of  the  river  are  the  par- 
ishes of  Baton  Rouge,  and  East  and  West  Feliciana.  The  latter  parish  re- 
ceived its  name  frohfi  its  pleasant  surface  of  fertile  hills  and  valleys,  and  its 
union  of  desirable  circumstanccfl  for  a  planting  country.  This  parish  presents 
a  spectacle  very  uncommon  in  this  country,  hills  that  are  covered  with  laurels 
and  forest  tmcs,  denoting  the  richest  soil.  Here  are  some  of  the  wealthiest 
planters  and  best  ]tlantations  in  the  state.  Unyou  Sarah,  the  point  of  shipment 
for  this  region,  scuds  great  quontitici*  of  cotton  to  New-Orleans.    Some  of  the

more  [Mirticulurly  conflued  to  the  banks  of  tho  Mississippi,  whore  irrigation  can 
be  easily  performed. — ^Tho  quantity  of  land  witliin  the  state  adapted  to  the 
cultivation  of  tho  three  staples,  has  been  estimated  as  follows  i  sugar,  900,000 
acres ;  ticc,  200,000 ;  cotton,  2,400,000.  Borne  of  tho  sugar-planters  have 
derived  a  revenue  in  soiid)  years  of  9000  from  tho  labor  of  uach  of  their 
slaves ;  from  §800  to  §460  is  tho  ordinary  calculation.  Tho  cultivation  of 
cotton  is  believed  to  bo  equally  profitable.  Tho  anwunt  of  sugar  mode  in 
Louisiana  in  1810,  was  about  10,000,000  lbs.;  in  1H14,  not  less  than 
10,000,000;  in  1817,  20,000,000;  in  1828,  88,000,000;  and  in  1680, 
100,000,000.  Tho  extensive  prairie  land,  in  tho  south-west  part  of  the  state, 
embracing  tho  district  of  Opolousas,  and  tho  greater  part  of  Attacapos,  is  most 
admirably  adapted  to  tho  rearing  of  cattle,  and  has  hitherto  been  used  ahnost 
exclusively  fur  that  purpose.  Many  of  tho  richer  planters  on  the  Teche  and 
Vermilion,  have  stock  farms  established  on  Mermoutau  and  Calcasiu  river*, 
and  count  their  cattle  bv  the  thousand. 

The  population  is  principally  confined  to  the  settlements  on  the  Mississippi. 
In  the  upper  settlements  tho  inhabitants  are  principally  Canadians;  in  tJie 
middle,  Germans ;  and  in  tho  lower,  French  and  Spaniards.  A  few  years  since 
a  majority  of  the  inhabitants  were  Roman  Catholics.  The  clergy  of  this 
order,  however,  are  not  numerous ;  and  the  constant  introduction  of  emigrants 
firom  the  north  is  ofiecting  a  rapid  revolution  in  all  the  institutions  of  the 
country. 

In  journeying  from  New  Orleans  to  tho  mouth  of  Sabine  river,  we  meet 
with  men  in  every  stago  of  civilization.  In  New  Orleans,  and  other  places  on 
the  banks  of  the  Mississippi,  tho  sugar  and  cotton  planters  live  in  splendid 
edifices,  and  enjoy  alt  the  luxury  that  wealth  can  impart.  In  Attacapas  and 
Opelousas,  the  glare  of  expensive  luxury  vanishes,  and  is  followed  bv  subston* 
tial  independence.  In  the  western  parts  of  Opelousas  are  found  herosmen  and 
hunters ;  the  cabins  are  rudely  and  hastily  constructed,  and  the  whole  scene 
recalls  to  the  imagination  the  primeval  state  of  society. 

Tho  exports  from  Louisiana  are  not  confined  to  its  own  produce.  The  bulky 
articles  of  all  the  western  states  go  down  the  Mississippi,  and  are  cleared  out 
at  New  Orleans.  The  value  of  the  exports  in  1804,  was  $1,600,803;  in 
1800,  •3,867,823;  in  1610,  90,102,610;  in  1817,  913,001,086;  and  in 
1629,  912,866,000. 

A  canal  was  completed  in  1881,  connecting  New  Orleans  with    ^^^ 
lake  Ponchartrain.    It  is  4^  miles  long,  perfectly  straight,  and  its 
ascent  and  descent  are  only  16  inches. 

There  are  10  banks  and  branches  in  this  state;  0  at  New  Orleans,  1  at 
Baton  Rouge,  1  at  Donaldson,  1  at  Opelousas,  1  at  Alexandria,  and  one  at  St 
Francisville. 

There  are  colleges  at  Jackson  and  New  Orleans.    In  1827,  the  gj^^^uo, 
legislature  made  a  grant  to  each  parish  in  the  state,  of  92  62§  to 
every  voter,  to  be  applied  to  the  education  of  the  indigent ;  the  amount  for 
one  parish  not  to  exceed  91,800,  nor  to  fall  short  of  98(M.    In  ccmsequence  of 
this  act,  nearly  940,000  are  annually  appropriated  to  the  education  of  the 
poor. 

The  number  of  periodical  papers  in  1881  was  13.

La  Bailo,  and  nanxxl  Louisiana  in  honor  of  Louis  XIV.  A  French  sxttletnent 
waa  begun  at  Iborvillo  in  1690,  and  in  1717  New  Orleans  was  founded. 

In  liOS,  tho  oxtnnsive  country  of  Louiaiana,  comprising  all  'he  tnrritory  now 
belonging  to  tho  Unitcxi  Hlat<>s,  lying  west  of  the  Mississippi,  was  purchased  of 
Prunco  for  tho  sum  of  $15,000,000;  and  in  1612,  tho  soutbom  portion  of  this 
country  was  admittud  into  the  Union  as  an  independent  »Mfi. 

In  tho  latter  part  of  the  last  war  between  (treat  Britain  and  the  United  States 
a  very  formidable  armament  invaded  the  territory  of  Louisiana,  with  a  view  to 
the  eaptufe  of  New  Orleans.  Several  thousand  voiuntccrs  from  the  adjotniag 
country  haatened  to  the  relief  of  tho  city,  and  their  cncr^^ios  wem  ably  directed 
by  general  Jackson.  Four  engagements  took  placo,  in  lII  of  which  the  British 
were  decisively  repulsed.  In  tho  Inst  of  these,  which  oocurred  on  the  8th  of 
January,  1815,  the  loss  of  the  enemy  was  so  great,  that  ho  withdrew  the 
rannaindor  of  his  forces,  and  dosistod  from  the  hopeless  attempt. 
ODSMiiuUoa  "^^  constitution  of  this  state  was  formed  in  1812.  The  legisla* 
■•s  imrtni-  tive  power  is  vested  in  a  senate  and  house  of  representatives,  both 

'~"'  together  styled  Tho  General  Assembly  of  the  State  of  Louisiana.  The 
representatives  are  elected  for  two  years  on  tho  first  Monday,  Tuesday,  and 
Wednesday  in  July.  Their  number  cannot  be  kiss  than  25,  nor  more  than  50 ; 
and  they  are  apportioned  according  to  the  number  of  electors,  as  aac«rtaioed 
by  enumeraUon  every  fbtar  years.  The  nn}nib9.M  of  the  senate  are  elected  for 
roar  years ;  one-half  birina  chosen  every  twro  yeaie,  at  the  time  of  the  election 
cTtbe  reprneentativee.  Tne  state  is  divided  into  16  senatorial  districts,  in  each 
of  which  one  senator  is  chosen.  The  executive  power  is  vested  in  a  governor, 
who  is  elected  for  the  term  of  four  years.  The  people  give  their  votes  for  a 
governor  at  tho  time  and  place  of  voting  for  representatives  and  senators ;  and 
on  the  sooond  day  of  the  succeeding  session  of  the  seneral  assembly,  the  two 
houses,  by  a  joint  ballot,  elect  for  soyemor  one  of  the  two  candidates  who 
have  the  greatest  number  of  votes.  The  governor's  term  of  office  comrnences 
oa  the  fourth  Monday  succeeding  his  election.  The  general  assembly  meets 
(aiiwe  1890,  «t  Donaldson  or  Donaldsonville)  annually,  on  the  fint  Mcmday  in 
January ;  except  in  the  years  of  the  eiectkn  of  president  of  the  United  States, 
when  it  meets  on  the  8d  Monday  in  November.  The  right  of  suffrage  is  pos-

rivers  Tennessee  and  Cumberland  pass  through  it  m  very  serpentine  courses. 
The  western  part  is  undulating ;  some  of  it  level ;  in  the  middle  it  is  hilly  |  and

other,  and  form  in  a  direction  nearly  north-east  and  south-west,  the  eastern 
boundary  of  the  state.  North-west  of  these,  and  separated  from  each  other 
by  valleys  of  from  6  to  15  miles  wide,  are  Bay's  Mountain,  Copper  Ridge, 
Clinch  Mountain,  Powell's  Mountain,  and  Welling's  Ridm.  The  last  four 
terminate  north  of  Tennessee  river.  They  are  all  encircled  by  valleys,  which 
open  passages  for  rivers  and  roads,  and  which,  together  with  the  numerous 
cascades,  render  the  views  very  sublime.  Caves  of  great  depth  and  extent 
are  found  throughout  the  state. 

The  geological  formation  of  this  state  is  wholly  secondary,  except  ^  small 
portion  of  the  eastern  part,  which  is  ti-ansition,  and  numerous  spots  on  the 
banks  of  rivers,  which  are  alluvial.  A  considerable  portion  of  the  state  is  bed- 
ded on  lime-stone.  A  large  deposit  of  gypsum  has  been  lately  discovered.  Cop- 
peras, alum,  nitre,  and  lead  are  among  the  minerals.  Some  silver  has  been 
found.  Coal  is  supposed  to  be  plentiful.  Saltpetre  is  no  abundant  as  to  form 
a  great  article  of  commerce.  There  are  several  mineral  springs,  and  many 
vuuable  salt  springs. 

The  soil  in  a  country  so  uneven  must  be  very  various.  The  western  port 
of  the  state  has  a  black,  rich  soil ;  in  the  middle  are  great  quantities  of  excel 
lent  land ;  in  the  eastern,  part  of  the  mountains  are  lean,  but  there  are  many 
fertile  valleys.  There  is  a  great  profusion  of  natural  timber,  poplar,'  hickory, 
walnut,  oak,  beach,  sycamore,  locust,  cherry,  sugar-maple,  &c.,  and  in  many 
places  are  great  quantities  of  cane  remarkably  thick  and  iMrong.  The  state 
also  abf  junds  with  medicinal  plants,  such  as  snake-root,  ginseng,  Carolina  pink, 
angelica,  senna,  annise,  spikenard,  &c.  Tennessee  is  also  well  supplied  with 
animals  and  birds  of  various  kinds,  and  the  rivers  abound  in  divers  sorts  of 
fish. 

The  climate  is  generally  healthy.  In  East  Tennessee,  the  heat  is  so  tempered 
by  the  mountain  air  on  one  side,  and  by  refreshing  breezes  from  the  Oulf  of 
Mexico  on  the  other,  that  this  part  of  the  state  has  one  of  the  most  desirable 
climate  in  North  America.    The  middle  part  resembles  Kentucky  in  climate. 

The  winter  in  Tennessee  resembles  the  spring  in  New  England.  Snow 
seldom  falls  to  a  greater  depth  than  10  inches,  or  lies  longer  than  10  days. 
Cumberland  river  has  been  frozen  over  but  three  times  since  the  country  was 
settled.    Cattle  are  rarely  sheltered  in  winter. 

In  the  western  parts  there  are  some  low  bottoms  on  which  the  inhabitants 
are  subject  to  bilious  fevers,  and  fever  and  ague  in  the  autiAnn. 

The  great  business  of  the  state  is  agriculture.  The  soil  produces  abundantly 
cotton  and  tobacco,  which  are  the  staple  commodities.  The  inhabitants  also 
raise  a  plentiful  supply  of  grain,  ^rass,  and  fruit.  They  export  cotton,  tobacco, 
and  flour,  in  considerable  quantities ;  also  saltpetre,  and  many  other  articles. 
The  principal  commerce  is  carried  on  through  the  Tennessee  ioA  Cumberland 
rivers,  and  from  them  through  the  Ohio  and  Mississippi  to  New  Orleans.  This 
state  also  supplies  Kentucky,  Ohio,  &c.,  with  cotton  fer  inland  manufiustures ; 
and  from  East  Tennessee  considerable  numbers  of  cattle  are  sent  to  the  sea- 
ports on  the  Atlantic 

There  are  several  banks  and  branches  in  this  state,  of.  which  the  Union 
Bank,  Nashville,  is  selected  for  the  public  depositea. 

The  state  penitentiary  is  near  Nashville,  built  in  1831,  at  an  expense  of 
about  960,000.  It  is  8  stories  high,  810  feet  in  length,  and  SO  feet  m  widUi, 
containing  solitary  cells. 

Nashville  University,  at  Nashville,  is  a  respectable  institution,  jj,^^^ 
with  considerable  endowments.     East  Tennessee  College  is  at 
Knoxville.     Greenville  College,  the  oldest  in  the  state,  is  at  Greenville ;  and 
there  is  a  theological  school  at  Maryville. 

The  Cherokee  Indians  possess  that  part  of  the  state  which  lies  to  the  south 
«f  the  Tennessee  and  Hiwasse  rivers.     These  Indians  have  made  much  pro- 


IM  TENNESSEE 

mn  in  the  arts  or  cirilited  life,  and  pay  conaiderable  attention  to  education. 
By  the  treaty  of  33d  May,  1836,  they  are  now  bound  to  remove  weat  of  the 
MiMiuippi. 
Kaii^ooi       "^^  Baptists  in  this  state  have  11  associations,  214  churches,  141 
dtMiina-  ministers,  and  11,971  communicants ;  the  Methodists,  125  preachers, 
*"     and  38,242  members;  the  Presbyterians,  106  churches,  60  minis- 
ters, 20  licentiates,  and  6,814  communicants;  the  Lutherans,  10  ministers. 
The  Cumberland  Presbyterians,  computed  at  about  100,000,  reside  chiefly  in 
Tennessee  and  Kentucky. 

The  number  of  perio(Ucal  papers  in  this  state  is  20. 

The  earliest  settlements  in  this  state  were  made  between  the  years 
"°'''    1766  and  1770,  by  emigrants  from  North  Carolina  and  yii|rinia.- 

The  country  was  included  within  the  limits  of  North  Carolina  till  1700 
when  it  was  placed  under  a  separate  territorial  government,  denominated 
the  "Territory  South  of  the  Ohio;"  and  in  1796,  the  inhabitants  formed  a 
OMistitution,  and  Tennessee  was  admitted  into  the  Union  as  an  independent 
state. 

OoMtitaUoB     '^^  constitution  of  this  state  was  formed  at  Knoxville,  in  1706. 
and  (o*Mi-  The  Iegi8lative4Uth(mty  is  vested  in  a  General  Assembly,  consisting 

**"-  of  «  senate  and^&Dua6j>f  representatives ;  and  the  members  of  both 
houses  u»  dected  Inennially  on  the  firat  Tuesday  and  Friday  in  August.  The 
number  of  representatives  is  60, /who  are  apportioned  among  the  difierent  coun- 
ties according  to  the  number  of  taxable  inhabitants.  The  niunber  of  senators 
cannot  be  less  than  one  third,  nor  more  than  one  half  of  the  number  of  repre- 
sentatives. The  executive  power  is  vested  in  a  governor,  who  is  elected  at  the 
same  time  with  the  senators  and  representatives ;  and  who  holds  his  oflice  for 
the  term  of  two  years,  but  is  not  eligiUe  more  than  six  years  in  any  term  of 

a';ht.  The  general  assembly  meets  (at  Nashville)  biennially,  on  the  third 
onday  in  September,  next  following  the  election ;  and  it  may  be  called  to- 
gether, if  accessary,  at  other  times,  by  the  governor. 

The  right  of  suffrage  is  granted  to  every  fireeman  of  the  age  of  21  years, 
possessing  a  freehold  in  the  county  where  he  o&rs  his  vote,  and  to  every  firee- 
man who  has  been  an  mhabitant  of  any  one  county  in  the  state  six  months 
immediately  preceding  the  day  of  election. 

The  judiciary  power  is  vearted  in  such  superior  and  inferior  courts,  as  the 
legislature  may,  firom  time  to  tune,  direct  and  establish.  Hie  judges  are 
appointed  by  a  joint  ballot  <^  both  hiauses,  and  hold  their  offices  during  good 
bmavior. 

The  govemw's  salary  is  2,000  dollars.

wood,  and  white  thorn.  Tho  country  between  Qm^n  and  Cumberland  rivers 
in  called  "  the  barrens."  In  1800  tlie  legi»lu*Mre  of  Kentucky  made  a  gratuitous 
grant  of  thJH  tract  to  actual  acttlcfH,  under  the  impression  that  it  was  of  little 
value ;  but  it  prov  ea  to  be  excellent  land  j  and  hogs  and  cattle  arc  raised  in 
abundance.  The  whole  state,  below  the  mountains,  rests  on  an  immense  bed 
of  limestone,  usually  about  eight  feet  below  the  surface.  There  are  every- 
where apertures  in  this  limestone,  through  which  the  waters  of  the  rivers  sink 
into  the  cnrth.  The  large  rivers  of  Kentucky,  for  this  reason,  are  more  dimin- 
ished during  the  dry  season,  than  those  of  any  part  of  thi  Tnited  States,  and 
tho  small  streams  entirely  disappear.  The  banks  of  the  rtvers  arc  natural 
curiosities ;  the  rivers  having  generally  worn  very  deep  channels  in  the  calca- 
reous rocks  over  which  they  flow.  The  precipices  formed  by  Kentucky  river 
are  in  many  places  awfully  sublime,  presenting  perpendicular  banks  of  300  feet 
of  solid  limestone,  surmounted  with  a  steep  and  diflicult  ascent,  four  times  as 
high.  In  the  south-west  part  of  the  staie,  between  Green  river  and  the  Cumber- 
land, there  are  several  wonderful  caves. 

The  principal  productions  of  Kentucky  are  hemp,  tobacco,  wheat,  and  Indian 
corn.  Salt  springs  are  numerous,  and  supply  not  only  this  state,  but  a  great 
part  of  Ohio  and  Fenncssce,  with  this  mineral.  Tho  principal  manufactures 
are  cloth,  spirits,  cordage,  salt,  and  maple  sugar.  Hemp,  tobacco,  and  wheat 
are  the  principal  exports.  These  are  carried  down  the  Ohio  and  Mississippi  to 
New  Orleans,  and  foreign  goods  received  from  the  same  place  in  return.  Louis- 
ville, on  the  Ohio,  is  the  centre  of  this  trade.  The  introduction  of  steamboat 
navigation  on  the  Ohio  has  been  of  incalculable  benefit  to  the  commercial  and 
manufacturing  interests  of  Kentucky. 

There  is  a  tract  of  country  in  the  south-western  part  of  tho  state,  east  arid 
north  of  Cumberland  river,  and  wateied  by  Green  and  Barren  rivers,  about  100 
miles  in  extent,  called  the  barreru,  which,  a  few  years  since,  was  a  beautiful 
prairie,  destitute  of  timber.  It  is  now  covered  with  a  young  growth  of  various 
kinds  of  ti-ees.  These,  however,  do  not  prevent  the  growth  of  grass,  and  an 
almost  endless  variety  of  plants,  which  are  in  bloom  during  the  whole  of  the 
spring  and  summer ;  when  the  whole  region  is  a  wilderness  of  the  most  beau- 
tiful flowers.  The  soil  is  of  an  excellent  quality,  being  a  mixture  of  clay,  loam, 
and  sand.  Through  this  country  there  runs  a  chain  of  conical  hills,  called  knob$. 

Horses  are  raised  in  great  numbers,  and  of  the  noblest  kinds.  A  handsome 
horse  is  the  highest  pride  of  a  KentucVian,  and  common  farmers  own  from  ten 
to  fifly.  Great  numbers  are  carried  over  the  mountains  to  the  Atlantic  states ; 
and  the  principal  supply  of  saddle  and  carriage  horses  in  the  lower  country  is 
drawn  from  Kentucky,  or  the  other  western  states.  The  horses  are  carried 
down  in  flat  boats.  Great  droves  of  cattle  are  also  driven  from  this  state,  over 
the  mountains,  to  Virginia  and  Pennsylvania. 

In  1628  the  value  of  the  cattle,  horses,  and  swme,  driven  out  of  the  state, 
numbered  and  valued  at  one  pomt  of  passage,  the  Cumberland  ford,  wa«  a 
million  dollars.  The  returns  of  the  value  of  exports,  agricultural  and  manu- 
fectured,  in  1829,  wanted  a  number  of  counties  of  comprising  the  whole  state; 
but  this  partial  return  gave  2,780,000  dollars. 
Maramoth      F°i'  &  very  interesting  account  of  this  stupendous  wonder,  we  are 

Mve.  indebted  to  Dr.  Nathan  Ward,  who  published  it  in  the  Monthlt 
Maoazinb,  of  October,  1816.  It  is  situated  in  Warren  county,  and  in  a  terri- 
tory D'jt  mountainous,  but  broken,  difllering  in  this  respect  from  all  the  other 
cavf  :ns  hitherto  known.  The  doctor,  provided  with  guides,  two  large  lamps,  a 
compass,  and  refreshments,  descended  a  pit  forty  feet  deep,  and  one  hundred 
and  twenty  in  circumference ;  having  a  spring  of  fine  water  at  the  bottom,  and 
conducting  to  the  entrance  of  the  cavern.  The  opening,  which  is  to  the  north, 
is  from  forty  to  fifly  feet  high,  and  about  thirty  in  width.  It  narrows  shortly 
ufier,  but  again  expands  to  a  width  of  thirty  or  forty  feet,  and  a  height  of

twenty,  continuing  these  dimensions  for  about  a  mile  to  the  first  hoppert,* 
where  a  manuiactory  of  saltpetre  has  recently  been  established.  Thence  to 
the  second  of  these  hoppers,  two  miles  from  the  entrance,  it  is  forty  feet  in 
width,  and  sixty  in  height.  Throughout  nearly  the  whole  of  the  distance  hand- 
some  walls  have  been  made  by  the  manuraciurors,  of  the  loose  stones.  The 
road  ■  hard,  and  as  smooth  as  a  flUg  pavement.  In  every  passage  which  the 
docyi  traversed,  the  sides  of  the  cavern  were  perpendicular,  and  the  arches, 
which  have  bid  defiance  oven  to  earthquakes,  are  regular.  In  1802,  when  the 
heavy  shocks  of  earthquakes  came  on,  which  were  so  severely  folt  in  this  part 
of  KentucW,  the  workmen  stationed  at  the  second  hoppers,  heard,  about  five 
minutes  before  each  shock,  a  heavy  rumbling  noise  issue  from  the  cave,  like  a 
strong  wind.  When  that  ceased,  the  rocks  cracked,  and  the  whole  appeared  to 
be  gomg  in  this  moment  to  final  desiruction.  However,  none  was  injured,  al- 
though Targe  portions  of  rock  fell  in  different  parts  of  the  cavern. 

In  advancing  into  the  cavern,  the  avenue  leads  from  the  second  hoppers, 
west,  one  mile ;  and  thence,  south-west,  to  the  chief  area  or  city,  which  is  six 
miles  from  the  entrance.  This  avenue,  throughout  its  whole  extent  from  the 
above  station  to  the  cross-roads,  or  chief  area,  is  from  sixty  to  one  hundred  feet 
in  height,  of  a  similar  width,  and  nearly  un  a  level,  the  floor  or  bottom  being 
covered  with  loose  lime-stone,  and  saltpetre  earth.  When,  observes  the  doctor, 
I  reached  this  immense  area,  (called  the  chief  city,)  which  contains  more  than 
eighty  acres,  without  a  single  pillar  to  support  the  arch,  which  is  entire  over  the 
whole,  I  was  struck  dumb  with  astonishment.  Nothing  can  be  more  sublime 
and  grand  than  this  place,  of  which  but  a  faint  idea  can  be  conveyed,  covered 
with  one  solid  arch  at  least  one  hundred  feet  high,  and  to  all  appearance  entire. 

Having  entered  the  area,  the  doctor  perceived  five  large  avenues  leading  from 
it,  from  sixty  to  one  hundred  feet  in  width,  and  about  forty  in  height.  The 
stone  walls  are  arched,  and  are  from  forty  to  eighty  feet  perpendicular  in  height 
before  the  commenccmant  of  the  arch. 

In  exploring  these  avenues,  the  precaution  was  taken  to  cut  arrows  pointing 
to  the  mouth  of  the  cave,  on  the  stone  beneath  the  feet,  to  prevent  any  difficulty 
in  the  return.  The  first  which  was  traversed,  took  a  southerly  direction  for 
more  than  two  miles ;  when  a  second  was  taken,  which  led  first  east,  and  then 
north,  for  more  than  two  further.  These  windings  at  length  brought  the  party, 
by  another  avenue,  to  the  chief  city  again,  ajler  having  traversed  dimient 
avenues  for  more  than  five  miles.  Having  reposed  for  a  few  moments  on  the 
slabs  of  lime-stone  near  the  centre  of  this  gloomy  area,  and  refreshed  them- 
selves and  trimmed  their  lamps,  they  departed  a  second  time,  through  an  avenue 
almost  north,  parallel  with  the  one  leadina  from  the  chief  city  to  the  mouth  of 
the  cavern ;  and,  having  proceeded  more  than  two  miles,  came  to  a  second  city. 
This  is  covered  with  a  single  arch,  nearly  two  hundred  feet  high  in  the  centre, 
and  is  very  similar  to  the  chief  city,  except  in  the  number  of  its  avenues  which 
are  two  only.  They  crossed  it  over  a  very  considerable  rise  in  the  centre,  and 
descended  through  an  avenue  which  bore  to  the  east,  to  the  distance  of  nearly 
a  mile,  when  they  came  to  a  third  area,  or  city,  about  one  hundred  feet  square, 
and  fifty  in  height,  which  had  a  pure  and  deUghtilil  stream  of  water  issuing 
from  the  side  of  a  wall  about  thirty  feet  high,  and  which  feU  on  a  br^en  sur^ 
face  of  stone,  and  was  afterwards  entirely  lost  to  view. 

Having  passed  a  few  yards  beyond  this  beautiftil  sheet  of  water,  so  as  to 
reach  the  en<i  of  the  avenue,  the  party  returned  about  five  hundred  yards,  and 
passing  over  a  considerable  mass  of  stone,  entered  another,  but  smaller  r  venue 
to  the  right,  which  carried  them  south  through  a  third,  of  an  uncommonly  black 
hue,  rather  more  than  a  mile ;  when  they  ascended  a  very  steep  hill  about  sixty 
yards,  which  conducted  them  to  within  the  walls  of  the  fourth  city.    It  is  not

inferior  to  the  srcoml,  having  nn  arili  which  covers  at  Iraat  six  acres.  In  Uiif 
lout  avenue,  the  extremity  of  which  rannot  bo  Ichh  than  tbor  miios  from  t\m 
chief  city,  and  ten  from  the  mouth  of  the  cavern,  are  more  than  twenty  U  -p^e 
pilea  of  Ball|)(ttre  earth  on  the  one  Nide,  nnd  broken  Hnic-Btone  hmpod  on  the 
other,  evidently  the  wori<  of  human  huntU. 

From  the  courw;  of  hin  neiHlle,  the  doctor  expected  that  thia  avenue  would 
have  led  circuitously  to  the  chief  city,  but  wait  much  diHnppointed  when  he 
rcoched  tl'o  cxtn-mily,  nt  u  few  hundred  yards'  distance  from  the  fourtii  city. 
In  retracing  his  steps,  not  having  |>aid  n  duo  attention  to  mark  the  entrances  ot 
the  dif1(>rent  avenues,  ho  was  greatly  bewildered,  and  onco  completely  lost  him- 
self for  nearly  liDeen  or  twtuity  minutes.  Thus,  faint  and  wearied,  ho  did  not 
reach  the  chief  an.>n  till  ten  at  night ;  but  was  still  determined  to  explore  tho 
cavern  as  long  us  his  light  should  last.  Having  entered  the  fifth  and  last  avenue 
from  tho  chief  area,  and  prcvxieded  south-cast  about  nine  hundred  yards,  he 
came  to  the  fifth  area,  the  arch  of  which  covers  more  than  four  acres  of  level 
ground,  strewed  with  limo-stone,  and  having  fire-beds  of  uncommon  size,  sur- 
rounded with  brands  of  cane,  interspersed.  Another  avenue  on  tho  op|)o8ite 
side,  led  to  oni;  of  still  greater  capacity,  tho  walls  or  sides  of  which  were  more 
perfect  than  any  that  liad  been  noticed,  running  almost  duo  south  for  nearly  a 
mile  and  a  half,  and  being  very  level  and  straight,  with  an  elegant  arch.  While 
tho  doctor  was  employed  at  the  extremity  of  this  avenue,  in  sketching  a  plan 
of  the  cnvi',  one  of  his  guides,  who  had  strayed  to  u  distance,  called  on  him  to 
follow.  Leaving  the  other  guide,  he  was  led  to  n  vertical  passage,  which  opened 
into  a  chamber  at  least  1800  feet  in  circumference,  and  the  centre  of  the  urch 
of  which  was  lAO  feet  in  height. 

It  was  past  midnight  when  he  entered  this  chamber  of  eternal  darkness ;  and 
when  he  reflected  on  tho  different  avenues  through  which  he  had  passed  since 
he  had  penetrated  tho  cavo  at  eight  in  the  morning,  and  now  found  himself 
buried  several  miles  in  the  dark  recesses  of  this  awful  cavern — the  grave  j  "^r- 
haps  of  thousands  of  human  beings — he  felt  a  shivering  horror.  The  aven: ';, 
or  passage  which  led  from  it,  was  as  largo  as  any  ho  had  entered ;  and  it  is 
uncertain  how  far  he  might  have  travelled  had  not  his  light  failed  him.  All 
thrtse  who  have  any  knowledge  of  this  cave,  he  observes,  conjecture  that  Green 
river,  a  stream  navigable  several  hundred  miles,  posses  over  three  of  its  branches. 

After  a  lapse  of  nearly  an  hour,  he  descended  by  what  is  called  the  "  passage 
of  the  chimney,"  and  joined  the  other  guide.  Thence  returning  to  the  chief 
area  or  city,  where  the  lamps  were  trimmed  for  the  last  time,  ho  entered  the 
spacious  avenue  which  led  to  the  second  hoppers.  Here  he  found  various  curi- 
osities, such  as  spars,  petrifactions,  &c. ;  and  these  he  brought  away,  together 
with  a  nuimmy,  which  was  found  at  the  second  hoppers.  He  reached  the  mouth 
of  the  cave  about  three  in  the  morning,  almost  exhausted  with  nineteen  hours 
of  constant  fatigue.  He  nearly  fainted  on  leaving  it,  and  on  inhaling  the  vapid

by  the  nitre  of  the  cavo ;  his  pulse  beat  stronger  when  within,  but  not  so  quick 
as  when  on  the  surface. 

Here  the  doctor  observes,  that  he  has  hardly  described  half  the  cave,  not 
having  named  the  avenues  between  the  mouth  and  the  second  hoppers.  This 
part  of  his  narrative  is  of  equal  interest  wiih  what  has  been  already  given.  Ke 
states  that  there  is  a  passage  in  the  main  avenue,  more  than  nine  hundred  ieet 
iVom  the  entrance,  like  that  of  a  trap-door ;  by  slicing  aside  a  large  flat  stone, 
you  can  descend  sixteen  or  eighteen  feet  il  a  very  narrow  defile,  whore  the 
passage  comes  on  a  level,  and  winds  about  in  mch  a  manner,  as  to  pass  under 
the  main  passage  without  having  any  communication  with  it,  at  length  opening 
into  the  main  cave  by  two  large  passages  just  beyond  the  second  hoppers.  This 
's  called  the  "  glauber-salt  room,"  the  h  ^  room,  and  the  flint  room,  together 
with  a  winding  avenue,  which,  branching  off  at  the  second  hoppers,  runs  west

•nd  south-eaMt  for  more  than  two  miles. 
flrom  the  vvUn  within ;  its  arch  is  very 
sparj 


It  is  called  the  "  haunted  chamber,'* 
*«autifully  incrustcd  with  limc-stono 
and  in  nmuy  places  the  columns  of  spar  arc  truly  elegant,  extending  from 
the  ceiling  t<>  the  tioor.  Near  the  u'ntro  or  this  arch  is  a  dome,  apparently  fifty 
ffK't  high,  hung  in  rich  dm|H'ry,  lestoom-d  in  the  most  fanciful  maimer,  for  six 
or  night  l<rt  from  the  hangings,  and  in  colors  the  most  rich  and  brilliant.  By 
the  refU^ctions  of  one  or  two  lights,  the  columns  of  spar  and  the  stalactites  have 
a  very  romantic  oppoarancc.  Of  this  spar  a  largo  cellar,  called  "  Wilkins*  arm 
chair,"  has  bi!cn  formed  in  the  centre  of  the  avenue,  and  encircled  with  many 
smaller  ones.  The  columns  of  apnt,  fluted  and  studded  with  knobs  of  spar 
and  Ntalxctitcs ;  the  dra{)cry  of  various  colors  superbly  festooned,  and  hung  in 
the  most  graceful  manner ;  these  iiru  shown  with  the  greatest  brilliancy  by  the 
reflection  of  tho  lamns. 

In  tho  vicinity  of  tne  "  haunted  chamber"  tho  sound  of  a  cataract  was  heard  { 
and  nt  tho  extremity  of  tho  nvcnue  wos  a  reservoir  of  water,  very  clear,  and 
grateful  to  tlu!  tasto,  apparently  having  neither  inlet  nor  outlet.  Here  the  air, 
as  in  many  other  parts  of  the  cave,  was  pure  and  delightfiil.  Not  far  from  the 
reservoir,  an  avcnu-^  presented  itself,  within  which  were  several  columns  of  the 
most  brilliant  spar,  sixty  or  seventy  feet  in  height,  and  olmost  perpendicular, 
standing  in  basins  of  water ;  which,  as  well  as  the  columns,  the  doctor  observes, 
surpasses  in  splendor  and  beauty,  every  similar  work  of  art  he  had  ever  seen. 

Returning  by  a  beautiful  pool  of  water,  the  doctor  came  to  tho  second  hop- 
pers, where  he  had  found  the  mummy  before  alluded  to.  It  had  been  removed 
from  another  cavo,  for  preservation,  and  was  presented  to  him  by  his  friend., 
Mr.  Wilkins,  together  with  the  apparel,  jewels,  music,  &c.  with  which  it  was 
accompanied.  It  has  since  been  placed  in  tho  Washington  Museum,  the  pro- 
prietor of  which  thinks  it  probable  that  this  mummy  is  as  ancient  as  the  immense 
mounds  of  the  western  country,  which  have  so  much  astonished  the  world. 

The  state  penitentiary,  at  Frankfort,  contained,  in  September,  1830, 
101  convicts.    This  institution  was  formerly  on  exficnse  to  the  state;  aryandho*. 
hut  since  IP     ,  under  the  management  of  its  prc'sent  keeper  (Mr.  Joel     '"''"• 
Scott),  it  has  more  than  supported  itself.   At  I/3xington  there  is  a  Lunatic  Asy- 
lum ;  at  Danville,  an  Asylum  for  the  Deaf  and  Dumb ;  at  Louisville  and  Smith- 
land,  on  the  Ohio,  hospitals  for  sick  and  disabled  boatmen. 

A  canal  about  two  miles  long,  around  tho  falls  of  the  Ohio,  at  Louis- 
ville, was  finished  in  1831,  and  during  1U4  days,  before  it  was  closed 
by  the  ice,  827  boats,  of  76,000  tons,  passed  through,  of  which  406  were  steam 
boats.     A  rail-road  is  in  progress  from  Lexington  to  the  Ohio. 

The  Northern  Bank  of  Kentucky,  and  the  Louisville  Savings' 
Institution,  receive  the  public  deposites. 

There  are  two  banks  chartered  by  the  state,  namely,  the  Bank  of  Kentucky 
and  the  Bank  of  the  Commonwealth  of  Kentucky,  at  Frankfort,  formerly 
having  branches  in  other  places ;  but  they  have  withdrawn  all  their  branches, 
and  have  closed  up  their  accounts.  The  state  owns  a  part  of  the  stock  of  Uie 
former  of  the  two  banks,  and  the  whole  of  that  of  the  latter. 

Transylvania  University,  in  Lexington,  is  the  oldest  and  most 
celebrated  institution  in  the  western  states,  and  has  medical  and  law 
schools  connected  with  it.  Centre  College  is  established  at  Danville ;  Augusta 
College,  at  Augusta;  Cumberland  College,  at  Princeton;  and  St.  Joseph's 
College,  a  respectable  Catholic  seminary,  at  Bairdstown. 

The  number  of  periodical  papers  in  1831  was  25. 

The  Baptists  in  this  state  have  36  associations,  442  churehes,  280  {i,,^^^^, 
ministers,  and  37,520  communicants ;  the  Methedists,  77  preachers,  denomiai^ 
and  23,036  members ;  the  Presbyterians,  103  churches,  61  ministers,     **"'"- 
9  licentiates,  and  7,832  communicants ;  the  Romta  Catholics*  about  80  priests ;

the  Jiflerent  counties  according  to  the  numbor  of  electors.  Their  present  num-

after  tho  expiration  of  his  term  of  office.  At  the  election  of  governor,  a  lieu- 
tenant-governor is  also  chosen,  who  is  speaker  of  the  senate,  and  on  whom  the 
duties  of  tho  bovernor  devolve,  in  case  of  his  absence  or  removal.  Tho  reprc- 
aentativcs  and  ono  quarter  of  the  members  of  the  sfuiate  are  elected  annually  by

excepted),  who  has  attained  the  age  of  21  years,  and  has  resided  in  the  state 
two  years,  or  in  tho  county  where  he  offers  his  vote,  one  year,  next  preceding

court  of  appeals,  and  in  such  inferior  courts  as  the  general  assembly  may,  from 
time  to  time,  erect  and  establish.  The  judges  of  tne  different  courts,  and  jus- 
tices of  tho  peace,  hold  their  offices  during  good  behavior. 
The  salary  of  the  governor  is  2,000  dollars.

The  rivers  which  flow  into  Lake  Erie  on  the  north,  are  Maumee,  Sandusky, 
Huron,  Vermilion,  Black,  Cuyahoga,  Grand,  and  Ashtabula;  those  in  the 
south  flovting  into  the  Ohio,  are  the  Muskingum,  Hockhocking,  Little  and 
Great  Miami.  The  Au-Glaize  and  St.  Mary's  in  the  western  part  of  the  state, 
are  branches  of  the  Maumee. 

The  interior  and  northern  parts  of  the  country,  bordering  on  Lake  Erio,  arc 
generally  level,  and  in  some  places  marshy.  Nearly  one-third  of  the  eastern  and 
south-eastern  part  is  very,  hilly  and  broken.  The  hills  are  exceedingly  numer- 
ous, but  they  seldom  rise  into  considerable  mountains.  Immediately  upon  thn 
banks  of  the  Ohio,  and  several  of  its  tributaries,  are  numerous  tracts  of  interval 
or  meadow  land,  of  great  fertility.  In  the  interior,  on  both  sides  of  the  Scioto, 
and  on  the  Great  and  Little  Miami,  are  perhaps  the  most  extensive  bodies  of 
level  and  rich  land  in  the  state.  In  many  parts  there  are  large  prairies,  par 
ticalarly  on  the  head  waters  of  the  Muskingum  and  Scioto,  and  between  tt>e 
Scioto  and  the  two  Miamis.  Some  of  these  prairies  are  low  and  marshy,  pro- 
ducing large  quantities  of  coarse  grass,  from  2  to  5  feet  high ;  some  of  which 
is  of  a  tolerably  good  quality :  other  prairies  are  elevated,  and  are  frequently 
called  barrens ;  not  always  on  account  of  their  sterility,  for  they  are  often  fer- 
tile. The  most  elevated  tracts  of  country  between  the  rivers,  are  the  w^test 
ard  most  marshy  in  the  state ;  and  the  driest  land  is  that  which  borders  on  the 
various  streams  of  water.  Among  the  forest  trees,  are  oak  of  various  species, 
maple,  hickory,  beach,  birch,  poplar,  sycamore,  ash,  pawpaw,  budc-eye, 
cherry,  &c.

Wheat  is  the  staple  of  the  state.  Other  sorts  of  grain,  various  kinds  of  ihiit, 

fimss,  hemp,  and  flax,  are  extensively  cultivated.     From  70  to  100  bushels  of 
adian  corn,  it  is  said,  have,  in  many  instances,  been  produced  in  a  year 
from  one  acre. 

Coal  is  found  in  great  quantities  in  the  eustern  parts. 
Iron  ore  has  been  discovered  and  wrought  pretty  ex- 
tensively in  several  places,  particularly  on  the  south 
of  Lickine  riverj  4  miles  west  of  Zanesville,  on  Brush 
creek,  and  in  some  other  places.  Salt  springs  are  found 
on  some  of  the  eastern  waters  of  Muskingum,  and  on 
Salt  creek,  28  miles  south-east  of  Chillicothe,  where  there 
are  considerable  salt  works. 

The  summers  are  warm  and  pretty  regular,  though 
somewhat  subject  to  tornadoes.  Spring  and  autumn  are 
very  pleasant ;  and  the  winters  generally  mild.  In  some 
parts  near  the  marshes  and  stagnant  waters,  the  inhab- 
itants arc  subject  to  the  fever  and  ague ;  but  the  climate, 
generally,  is  accounted  remarkably  healthy. 
Ohio  takes  the  lead  among  the  western  states  with 
%  regard  to  manufactures.  Some  of  the  most  important 
manufacturing  towns  are  Cincinnati,  Zanesville,  Steu- 
benville,  and  Chillicothe. 

The  building  of  ships  has  been  commenced  in  this  state* 
for  the  purpose  of  carrying  its  produce  to  market.  These 
are  laden  at  spring-flood,  and  descend  the  rivers  in  per- 
fect safety  to  the  Atlantic,  whence  they  proceed  to  the 
West  Indies,  or  other  parts,  where  they  are  disposed  of, 
both  vessel  and  cargo.  The  first  ships  built  here  were 
in  1802,  at  Marietta.  Their  frames  were  almost  wholly 
of  black  walnut,  which  is  said  to  be  as  durable  as  the 
live-oak.  All  the  materials  for  ship-building  abound  in 
this  country. 

The  exports  from,  this  state  consist  of  flour,  com, 
hemp,  flax,  beef,  pork,  smoked  hams  of  venison, 
whisky,  peach-brandy,  and  lumber. 

More  than  half  of  the  exports  go  to  New  Orleans ;  but 
much  is  sent  to  New  York  and  other  Atlantic  cities. 

The  Ohio  Canal  ibrms  a  communication  between  the 
river  Ohio,  at  Portsmouth,  and  lake  Erie,  at  Cleaveland, 
320  miles  in  length. 

The  Miami  Canal,  which  is  completed  from  Cincin- 
nati to  Dayton,  65  miles,  has  22  locks,  and  cost 
$746,000,  about  011,000  a  mile.  It  extends  througtf 
the  riches,  portion  of  the  state,  and  is  tlw  channel  of  an 
extensive  trftde. 

The  principal  banks  are,  the  Commercial  and  Frank- 
lin Banks,  Cincinnati ;  the  Clinton  Bank,  Columbus, 
being  public  deposite  banks ;  the  banks  of  Chillicothe, 
Mariatia,  St.  Clairsville,  Steubenville,  Mount  Plea- 
sant, and  Canton;  Franklin  Bank  of  Columbus,  at 
Columbus ;  Lancaster  Ohio  Bank,  at  Lancaster ;  Ur- 
bana  Banking  Company,  at  Urbana;  Bank  of  Scioto, 
at  Portsmouth ;  and  Western  Reserve  Bank,  at  Warren. 

The  principal  literary  semiuaries  in  this  ^ 
state  are  the  University  of  Ohio,  at  Athens  Ji"*"°°-

A  canal  has  been  projected  in  this  state,  to  extend  from  the  junction  ot 
Tippecanoe  river  with  the  Wabash,  along  the  valleys  of  the  Wabash  and 
Maumee  rivers  to  lake  Erie;  the  whole  length  to  be  130  miles.  The  height, 
from  the  summit  to  the  lower  level,  will  be  240  feet.  The  construction  of 
this  work  is  about  to  be  actively  prost-suted. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Ohio,  Wabash,  White  River,  Whitewater, 
Tippecanoe,  Illinois,  Plein,  Theakiki,  St.  Joseph's,  and  St.  Mary's. 

There  are  no  mountains  in  Indiana ;  the  country,  however,  is  more  hilly 
than  the  territory  of  Illinois,  particularly  towards  Ohio  river.  A  range  of 
Lills,  called  the  Knobs,  extends  from  the  falls  of  the  Ohio  to  the  Wabash,  in 
a  aouth-west  direction,  which  in  many  places  produces  a  broken  and  uneven 
•urface.  North  of  these  hills  lie  the  flat  woods,  70  miles  wide.  Bordering 
on  all  the  principal  streams,  except  the  Ohio,  there  are  strips  of  bottom  and 
prairie  land ;  both  together  from  three  to  six  miles  in  width.  Between  the 
Wabash  and  lake  Michigan,  the  country  is  mostly  champaign,  abounding 
alternately  with  wood-lands,  prairies,  lakes,  and  swamps. 

A  range  of  hills  runs  parallel  with  the  Ohio,  from  the  mouth  of  the  Great 
Miami  to  Blue  River,  alternately  approaching  to  within  a  few  rods,  and  re> 
ceding  to  the  distance  of  two  miles.  Immediately  below  Blue  River,  the  hills 
disappear,  and  there  is  presented  to  view  an  immense  tract  of  level  land,  co- 
vered with  a  heavy  growth  of  timber.  North  of  the  Wabash,  between  Tippe« 
canoe  and  Ouitanan,  the  banks  of  the  streams  are  high,  abrupt,  and  broken, 
and  the  land,  except  the  prairies,  is  well  timbered.  Between  the  Plein  and 
Theakiki,  thb  country  is  flat,  wet,  and  swampy,  interspersed  with  prairies  of

an  inferior  soil.     The  sources  of  rivers  are  grncrally  in  Hwnmps  or  lakes,  and 
the  country  around  them  is  low,  and  too  wet  for  cultivation. 

There  are  two  kinds  of  prairies,  the  river  and  the  upland  prairies ;  the 
former  aro  bottoms  destitute  of  timber,  and  are  said  t:.-  oxhii)''t  vestiges  of 
former  cultivation ;  the  latter  are  from  30  to  100  feet  more  elevated,  and  aro 
far  more  numerous  and  extensive.  Some  of  them  are  not  larger  than  a  com- 
mon field,  wiiiie  others  extend  farther  than  the  eye  can  reach.  They  aro  usu- 
ally bounder!  by  heavily  timbered  forests,  and  not  unfrequently  adorned  with 
copses  of  small  trees.  In  spring  and  summer,  they  are  covered  with  a  luxuri- 
ant growth  of  grass  and  fragrant  flowers,  from  6  to  8  feet  high.  The  soil  of 
these  plains  is  ollen  oa  deep  and  fertile  as  the  best  bottoms.  The  prairies  bor- 
dering on  the  Wabash  are  particularly  rich.  Wells  have  been  dug  in  them 
where  the  vegetable  soil  was  22  feet  deep,  under  which  was  a  stratum  of  fine 
white  sand.     The  ordinary  depth  is  from  2  to  5  feet. 

The  principal  productions  of  this  state  are  wheat,  Indian  corn,  rye,  oats, 
barley,  buckwheat,  potatoes,  pulse,  beef,  pork,  butter,  whiskey,  and  peach 
brandy. 

Not  far  from  Big  Blue  River  there  is  a  large  cave,  the  entrance  of  which  is 
on  the  side  of  a  hill,  that  is  about  400  feet  high.  Here  are  found  great  quanti- 
ties of  sulphate  of  magnesia,  or  Epsom  s&it,  and  of  nitre,  &c. 

The  climate  is  generally  healthy  and  pleasant,  resenibling  that  of  Ohio. 
The  Wabash  is  frozen  over  in  the  winter,  so  that  it  may  be  safely  crossed  on 
the  ice. 

In  the  sonthem  part  of  Indiana  there  is  a  remarkable  cave,  which  abounds 
in  Epsom  salts,  and  which  is  thus  described  by  Mr.  Adams. — "  The  hiil  in 
which  it  is  situated  is  about  400  feet  high  from  the  base  to  the  most  elevated 
point,  and  the  prospect  to  the  south-east,  in  a  clear  day,  is  exceedingly  fine, 
commanding  an  extensive  view  of  the  hills  and  valleys  bordering  on  Big  Blue 
River.    The  top  of  the  hill  is  covered  principally  with  oak  and  chestnut.   The 
side  to  the  south-east  is  mantled  with  cedar.    The  entrance  is  about  mid-way 
from  the  base  to  the  summit,  and  the  surface  of  the  cave  preserves  in  general 
about  that  elevation ;  although  I  must  acknowledge  this  to  be  conjectural,  as  no 
experiments  have  been  made  with  a  view  to  ascertain  the  fact.    It  is  probably 
ownng  to  this  middle  situation  of  the  cave,  that  it  is  much  drier  than  is  common. 
"  After  entering  the  cave  by  an  aperture  12  or  16  feet  wide,  and  in  height, 
in  one  place,  3  or  4  feet,  you  descend  with  easy  and  gradual  sieps  into  a  large 
and  spacious  room,  which  continues  about  a  quarter  of  a  mile,  varying  in 
height  from  S  to  30  feet,  and  in  braadth  from  10  to  20.    In  this  distance  the 
roof  is  in  some  places  arched,  in  others  a  plane,  and  in  one  place  it  resembles 
the  inside  view  of  the  roof  of  a  house.  At  the  distance  above  ramed,  the  cave 
forks,  but  the  right  hand  fork  scon  terminatos,  while  the  left  rises  by  a  flight 
of  rocky  stairs,  nearly  10  Cer,t  high,  into  another  story,  and  pursues  a  course 
at  this  place  nearly  south-ei  at.    Here  the  roof  commences  a  regular  arch,  the 
height  of  which  froi     ,he  lioor  varies  from  5  to  8  feet,  and  the  width  of  the 
cave  from  6  to  12  feet,  which  continues  to  what  is  called  the  *  creeping-place,' 
from  the  circumstance  of  having  to  crawl  10  or  12  feet  into  tho  next  large 
room.    From  this  place  to  the  pillar,  a  distance  of  about  one  mile  and  a 
quartec,  the  visitor  finds  an  alternate  succession  of  large  anr*  small  rooms, 
variously  decorated;  sometimes  traveliiug  on  a  pavement,  or  climbing  over 
huge  piles  of  rocks,  detached  from  the  roof  by  some  convulsion  of  nature, 
'^he  aspect  of  this  large  and  stately  white  column,  as  it  heaves  in  sight  from 
the  dim  reflection  of  the  torches,  is  grand  and  impressive.    Visitors  have 
seldom  pushed  their  inquiries  further  than  200  or  300  yards  beyond  this  pillar. 
This  column  is  about  15  ftet  in  diameter,  from  20  to  30  feet  high,  and  regularly 
reeded  from  the  top  to  the  bottom."

''''   French  emigrants  from  Canada,  and  long  remained  a  solitary  vil- 
lage.   Few  settlements  were  made  in  the  country  by  citizens  of  the  United 
States  till  the  end  of  the  century.    In  1801,  Indiana  was  erected  into  a  terri- 
torial government,  and,  in  1816,  into  a  state.    It  has  been  settled  chiefly  by 
emigrants  from  the  eastern  and  middle  states,  and  has  had  a  rapid  growth,

Uon  and  go- the  people  for  a  term  of  three  ^ears,  and  may  be   "".oe  re-elected.  At 
vernroent  gyg^  election  of  govemor,  a  lieutenant-governor  is  also  chosen,  who 
is  president  of  the  senate,  and  on  whom,  in  case  of  the  death,  resignation,  or 
removal  of  the  govemor,  the  powers  and  duties  of  that  office  devolve. 

The  legislative  authority  is  vested  in  a  general  assembly,  consisting  of  a 
senate,  the  members  of  which  are  elected  for  three  years,  and  a  house  of  re- 
presentatives, elected  annually.  The  number  of  representatives  can  never  be 
less  than  36,  nor  more  than  100 ;  and  they  are  apportioned  among  the  several 
counties  according  to  the  number  of  white  male  inhabitants  above  21  years  of 
age.  The  number  of  senators,  who  are  apportioned  in  like  manner,  cannot  be 
less  than  one  third  nor  more  than  one  half  of  the  number  of  representatives. 

The  representatives  and  one  third  of  the  members  of  the  senate,  are  elected 
annually  on  the  first  Monday  in  August ;  and  the  governor  is  chosen  on  the 
same  day,  every  tbiid  year.  The  general  assembly  meets  annually  (at  In- 
dianapolis) on  the  first  Monday  in  Dumber.  The  right  of  suiTrace  is  granted 
to  all  male  citizens  of  the  ase  of  21  -ears  or  upwards,  who  may  nave  resided 
in  the  state  one  year  immediately  pi  .Jing  an  election.  The  judiciary  power 
is  vested  in  one  supreme  court,  in  circuit  courts,  and  in  such  other  inferior 
courts  as  the  general  assembly  may  establish.  The  supreme  court  consists  of 
three  judges ;  and  each  of  the  circuit  courts  consists  of  a  president  and  two 
associate  judgeis.  The  judges  are  all  appointed  for  the  term  of  7  yc:jrs.  The 
judges  of  the  supreme  court  are  appointed  by  the  govemor,  with  the  consent 
of  the  senate ;  the  presidents  of  the  circuit  courts,  by  the  legislature ;  and  the 
associate  judges  are  elected  by  the  people. 

The  salary  of  the  governor  is  1000  dollars.

.  Illinois  was  admitted  into  the  Union  in  1818,  and  contained  that  year,  by 
enumeration,  35,220  inhabitants. 

The  Mississippi,  Ohio,  and  Wabash  form  about  tw4ilhirds  of  the  whole 
boundary  of  this  state.  The  other  most  considerable  rivers  are  the  Illinois, 
Kaskaskia,  Muddy,  Saline,  Little  Wabash,  Michilimackinack,  Crow  Meadow, 
Rainy,  Vermilion,  Mine,  Spoon,  Rocky,  and  Sangamoin. 

The  peninsula  between  the  Mississippi  and  Illinois  rivers,  has  been  sur- 
veyed for  military  bounty  lands.  Congress  appropriated  for  this  object 
i.,500,000  acres  ;  and  the  surface  actually  surveyed  amounts  to  an  are»  about 
equal  to  240  townships,  each  0  miles  square ;  equal  to  8,640  square  miles, 
or  5,530,000  acres,  nearly.  It  was  necessary  that  the  number  surveyed 
should  exceed  the  number  appropriated,  as  the  act  of  congress  provides  that 
the  several  portions  granted  shall  be  fit  for  cultivation.  These  lands  are 
described  as  being  very  good. 

The  southern  and  middle  parts  of  the  state  are  for  the  most  part  level. 
The  banks  of  the  Illinois  and  Kaskaskia,  in  some  places,  present  a  publime 
and  picturesque  scenery.  Several  of  their  tributary  streams  have  excavated 
for  themselves  deep  and  frightful  gulfs,  particularly  those  of  the  Kaskaskia, 
whose  banks,  near  the  junction  of  Big  Hill  Creek,  present  a  perpendicular 
front  of  solid  lime-stone  140  feet  high.  The  north-western  part  of  Uie  terri- 
tory is  a  hilly,  broken  country,  though  there  are  no  high  mountains.  The 
climate  resembles  that  of  Indiana  and  Ohio.  The  low  and  wet  lands  in  the 
southern  part  are  unhealthy. 

The  prevailing  forest  tree  in  Illinois  is  oak,  of  which  as  many  as  18  or  14 
different  species  have  been  enumerated.  Honey-locust,  black-walnut,  mulberry, 
plum,  sugar-maple,  black-locust,  elm.  bass-wood,  beach,  buck-eye,  hackberry, 
cofTee-nut,  sycamore,  spice-wood,  sassafras,  black  and  white  haws,  crab-apple, 
wild  cherry,  cucumber,  and  pawpaw,  are  found  in  their  congenial  soils  through- 
out the  state.     White  pine  is  found  on  the  head  branches  of  the  Illinois. 

Copper  add  lead  are  found  in  several  parts  of  the  state.    Coal  has  been  dis-

ville  on  tho  Illinois,  00  miles  above  Illinois  lake,  and  in  other  places.  Salt 
water  is  found  in  several  places  sufficient  to  furnish  immcnae  quantities  of  salt. 
The  famous  salt  works  belonging  to  tho  Unued  States  are  in  the  vicinity  of 
Shawneotown.     Iron  ore  hos  also  been  discovered. 

Sulphur  springs,  chalybeate  springs,  and  very  strong  impregnations  of  pure 
sulphurate  of  magnesia  or  Epsom  salts,  abound  in  different  parts. 

In  the  southern  part  of  the  state  a  number  of  sections  of  land  have  been  ro* 
served  from  sale  on  account  of  tho  silver  ore  which  they  are  supposed  to  contain. 

The  lead  mines  in  the  vicinity  of  Galena,  are  very  extensive  and  valuable. 
The  mineral  has  been  found  in  every  portion  of  a  tract  of  more  than  60  miles 
m  extent  in  every  direction,  and  is  supposed  to  occupy  a  territory  of  more  than 
twice  that  extent.  The  ore  lies  in  beds,  or  horizontal  strata,  varying  in  thick, 
ness  from  one  inch  to  several  feet.    It  yields  75  per  cent,  of  pure  lead. 

Tho  staple  productions  of  Illinois  arc  Indian  corn,  wheat,  potatoes,  beef,  pork, 
horses,  tobacco,  and  Wd.  Tho  castor  bean  is  raised,  and  oil  is  manufactured 
from  it,  but  not  in  large  quantities.  Good  cotton  is  produced  for  home  con- 
sumption, and  is  manufactured  extensively  in  the  families  of  farmers  into  coarse 
fabrics,  for  domestic  uses.  Hemp,  flax,  and  silk-worms  succeed  well.  Apples, 
peaches,  pears,  plums,  chenies,  grapes,  gooseberries,  and  currants  arrive  at 
great  perfection.  The  wild  fruits  are  grapes,  plums,  cherries,  gooseberries, 
mulberries,  crab-apples,  persimmons,  blackberries,  raspberries,  and  strawberries. 

A  canal  has  been  projected  (not  yet  oommenced)  to  unite  lake  icternti  im- 
Michigan  with  the  river  Illinois,  and  the  national  government  has  i»»»«neni. 
made  a  liberal  donation  of  land  in  aid  of  the  design.  The  length  will  be  about 
70  miles ;  and  the  cost  is  estimated  at  $800,000. 

Laborers  are  now  employed  in  the  construction  of  that  part  of  the  great 
National  Road,  which  extends  from  the  town  of  Vandalia  to  the  eastern  bound- 
ary of  Indiana,  near  Tsrre  Haute.  The  length  of  this  part  ia  00  miles,  and 
the  road  is  so  straight  t  lat  its  length  is  not  so  much  as  a  mile  greater  than  the 
distance  by  a  right  line  between  the  two  extreme  points. 

The  Cbvo  in  Rock,  o.*  House  of  Nature,  on  the  Ohio  below  Shawneetown,  is 
regarded  as  a  great  curiosity,  and  was  formerly  a  rendezvous  of  robbers. 

A  college  has  be»n  recently  established  at  Jacksonville,  and  land 
to  the  amount  of  9b    374  acres  has  been  given  for  the  support  of     "**' ""' 
schools ;  but  no  system  of  general  education  has  yet  been  organized  in  Illinois. 

The  Baptists  in  this  state  have  6  associations,  80  churches,  69  it„||.|o,^ 
ministers,  and  2,432  communicants ;  the  Methodists,  46  preachers,  dcnomiaa. 
and  6,859  members ;  the  Presbyterians,  24  churches,  13  ministers, 
and  492  (communicants. 

One  o'  the  earliest  settlements  of  the  French  in  the 


liOOIi. 


Hittorjr. 


valley  was  made  at  Kaskaskia,  in  the  latter  part  of  the  17th  century. 
Almost  all  the  settlements  that  have  been  formed  by  the  citizens  of  the  United 
States,  have  been  begun  since  1800,  In  1800,  Illinois  was  erected  into  a  ter- 
ritorial government,  and  in  1818,  into  a  state. 

The  legislative  power  is  vested  in  a  General  Assembly,  consist-  conftiiu- 
ing  of  a  Senate,  the  members  of  which  are  elected  for  four  years ;  tion  and  ro- 
and  a  House  of  Representatives,  elected  biennially.  The  number  '•'""•"'• 
of  representatives  shall  not  be  less  than  27,  nor  more  than  36,  until  the  num* 
her  of  inhabitants  within  the  state  s^nll  amount  to  100,000 ;  and  the  ninnber 
of  senators  shall  never  be  less  than  oac  third,  nor  more  than  one  half  of  the 
number  of  representatives." 

The  executive  power  is  vested  in  a  governor,  who  is  elected  by  the  people 
for  four  years ;  and  he  is  not  eligible  for  more  than  four  years  in  any  term  of 
eight  years.  At  the  election  of  governor,  a  lieutenant-governor  t|  also  cbosen.

MICfflGAN.-ARKANSAS. 


*?1 


j>         '■, 


The  foregoing  table  shows  the  division  of  the  then  territory,  as  it  existed 
Jan.  1,  1835.  Since  then,  the  following  new  counties  have  been  created: 
Ilillsdale,  Van  Buren,  Allegan,  Barry,  Eaton,  Ingham,  Livingston,  Lapeer, 
Genessee,  Shiawassee,  Clinton,  Ionia,  Kent,  Ottawa,  Oceana,  Gratiot,  Isa- 
bella, Midland,  Saginaw,  Sanilac,  Gladwin,  Arenac,  and  Montcalm. 

The  state  of  Michigan  is  a  large  peninsula,  something  resembling  a  tri- 
angle, with  its  base  resting  upon  Ohio  and  Indiana,  Three  quarters  of  its 
extent  are  surrounded  by  the  great  lakes,  Huron  and  Michigan.  It  is  gene- 
rally a  level  country,  having  no  mountains,  and  not  many  elevations  that 
might  properly  be  called  hills.  Th  j  centre  of  the  peninsula  is  table  land, 
elevated,  however,  not  many  feet  above  the  level  of  the  lakes,  and  sloping 
inwards. 

The  eastern  parts  of  this  state,  from  various  circumstances,  became  first 
settled.  Within  the  few  last  years  a  great  mass  of  emigrants  have  begun  to 
spread  themselves  over  this  fine  and  fertile  country.  Situated,  as  it  is,  be- 
tween the  west,  the  south,  and  the  east,  with  greater  facilities  for  extensive 
inland  water  communication  than  any  other  country  on  the  globe,  with  a 
fertile  soil,  of  which  millions  of  acres  are  fit  for  the  plow,  with  a  healthful 
climate,  and  with  a  concurrence  of  circumstances  inviting  northern  popular 
tion,  th^re  can  be  no  doubt  that  it  will  soon  take  a  high  rank,  and  rival  its  • 
western  sister  states.  Wheat,  Indian  corn,  oats,  barley,  buckwheat,  potatoes, 
turnips,  peas,  apples,  pears,  plums,  cherries,  and  peaches  are  raised  easily 
and  in  abundance.  It  is  a  country  more  favorable  to  cultivated  grasses  than 
the  western  country.  In  short,  it  is  peculiarly  fitted  for^orthem  farmers. 
No  inland  country,  according  to  its  age,  population,  and  Circumstances,  ha* 
a  greater  trade.  A  number  of  steamboats  and  lake  vessels  are  c<HWtantly 
plying  in  this  traile,  which  is  with  Mackinack,  Detroit,  Chicago,  end  Ohio. 

The  constitution  of  this  state  was  formed  on 'the  11th  of  May,  193S,  and 
ratified  by  the  people  in  the  following  October.  The  powers  of  the  govern- 
ment are  divided  into  executive,  legislative,  and  judicial.  The  legislative 
power  is  vested  in  a  Senate  and  House  of  Representatives.  The  senators 
are  chosen  for  two  years,  one  half  of  them  each  year,  and  be»  a  proportion 
to  the  number  of  members  in  the  house,  of  one  third.  The  representatives 
are  chosen  annually,  and  cannot  be  less  than  48,  nor  more  than  100  in  num- 
ber. The  executive  is  elected  for  two  years,  also  a  lieutenant-governor,  to 
perform  the  duties  in  case  of  a  vacancy. 

The  judiciary  consists  of  a  supreme  court,  the  judges  of  irhich  are  appointed 
by  the  governor,  with  the  advice  of  the  senate.  Their  commissions  are  for 
seven  yefn.  The  legislature  may  also  from  time  to  time  establish  inferior 
courts,  the  judges  of  which  shall  be  elected  by  the  people  for  four  years. 

In  all  elections,  every  white  male  citizen,  above  the  age  of  21  years,  having 
resided  in  the  state  six  months  next  preceding  the  election,  is  entitled  to  vote. 

SIl  irery  and  the  sale  of  lottery  tickets  are  prohibited  by  the  constitution. 

Michigan  was  admitted  into  the  Union,  June  16,  183d.  Detroit,  the 
capital,  was  settled  by  the  French,  about  the  year  1670.

The  soil  exhibits  every  variety,  from  the  most  productive  to  the  most  stenle. 
The  indigenous  forest  trees  are  specifically  numerous,  and  very  large.  The 
principal  species  are,  oak,  hickory,  ash,  sycamore,  cotton-wood,  linden,  maple, 
(three  or  four  species,)  Ipcust,  and  pine.  The  cultivated  fruit  trees  are  the  apple, 
pear,  peach,  plum,  nectarine,  cherry,  and  quince.  The  various  kinds  of  small 
grain  succeed  well,  such  as  wheat,  rye,  oats,  barley,  and  maize.  Garden 
plants  are  abundant,  and  grow  luxuriously.  In  metallic  wealth,  Arkansas  is 
productive  in  iron  ore,  gypsum,  and  common  salt.  Cotton,  Indian  corn,  flour, 
peltry,  salted  provisions,  and  lumber,  are  the  staples  of  the  territoiy.  Arkansas 
was  among  the  most  ancient  settlements  of  the  French  in  Louisiana.  That 
nation  had  a  hunting  and  trading  post  on  the  Arkansas  river  as  early  as  the 
beginning  of  the  eighteenth  century ;  but,  from  the  peculiar  situation  of  the 
adjacent  country,  the  settlements  upon  that  river  made  litde  advance  befdto 
the  transfer  of  Louisiana  to  the  United  States.  Since  that  period,  Arkansas 
has  been  involved  in  the  various  vicissitudes  of  the  conntary  of  which  it  formed  a 
part ;  and  tm  the  fofmrtion  of  Missouri  into  a  state,  became  a  territory  of  the 
United  States.    It  was  admitted  into  the  Union,  with  Michigan,  July  15, 1836. 

The  Arkansas  country  was  erected  into  a  separate  government  in  1819, 
extending  from  the  Mississippi  to  Mexico ;  but  in  1824,  the  western  limit 
was  restricted  to  a  line  beginning  40  miles  west  of  the  south-west  comer  of 
the  ati^  of  Missouri,  and  running  south  to 'Red  river. 

The  state  constitution  is  very  similar  to  that  of  the  other  western  states, 
except  that  it  contains  Uie  amplest  toleration  of  slavery.

DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA^FLORIDA. 

DISTRICT  OF  COLUMBIA. 


The  District  of  Columbia  is  a  tract  of  country  10  miles  square,  on  both 
aides  of  Potomac  river,  120  miles  from  its  mouth.  It  was  ceded  to  the  United 
States  by  Maryland  and  Virginia  in  1700,  and  in  1800  became  the  seat  of  the 
general  government.     It  is  under  the  immediate  government  of  congress.

The  surface  of  the  District  of  Columbia  is  generally  very  pleasantly  diver^ 
sified  by  hill  and  dale.  The  soil,  in  its  natural  state,  is  sterile.  The  climate 
is  esteemed  very  healthy.  The  latitude  of  the  Capitol  is  38°  52'  45"  north, 
and  within  a  very  small  fraction,  77°  west  from  Londou.  The  mean  tempe- 
rature, about  66°  Fahrenheit ;  similar  to  that  of  Philadelphia,  Wilmington, 
Baltimore,  and  Richmond. 

The  situation  of  the  District  is  such  that  it  hqp  become  the  centre  of  a  very 
extensive  commerce.  The  quaAity  of  flour  and  other  domestic  produce 
brought  down  the  Potomac  annually,  is  very  considerable. 

There  are  three  colleges  in  the  District:  Co'ambia  College,  a  seminary 
chiefly  under  the  direction  of  the  Baptist  denomination,  is  situated  near 
Washington ;  Georgetown  College,  a  Roman  Ca.holic  institution,  at  George- 
town ;  and  an  Episcopal  Theological  Seminary  in  the  vicinity  of  Alexandria. 

The  number  of  banks  in  1831  was  10.  The  Bank  of  the  Metropolis, 
Washington,  receives  the  public  deposites.

FLORIDA. 


153 


The  surface  of  Florida  is  in  general  level  and  not  much  elevated  above  the 
sea.  It  is  intersected  by  numerous  ponds,  lakes,  and  rivers,  particularly  the 
St.  John's  river,  which  runs  through  nearly  the  whole  lengtli  of  the  peninsula 
from  south  to  north.  A  quarry  of  stone  commences  at  the  island  of  Anastasia, 
and  extends  to  the  south,  not  exceeding  three  miles  in  width.  The  stone  is 
a  concretion  of  shells ;  it  is  soft  when  the  quarry  is  first  opened,  but  becomes 
hard  upon  exposure  to  the  air,  and  is  of  excellent  use  in  building.  The  south- 
era  part  of  the  peninsula  is  a  mere  marsh,  and  terminates  at  Cape  Sable,  in 
heaps  of  sharp  rocks,  interspersed  with  a  scattered  growth  of  shrubby  pines. 
The  gulf  stream  setting  along  the  coast  has  here  worn  away  the  land,  forming 
those  islands,  keys,  and  rocks,  known  by  the  general  name  of  Martyrs  and 
Pinerais,  and  by  the  Spaniards  called  cayos,  between  which  and  the  mainland 
is  a  navigable  channel.  These  islands  contain  some  settlements  and  many 
good  harbors.  The  eddies  which  set  towards  the  shore  from  the  gulf  stream 
cause  many  shipwrecks  on  this  part  of  the  coast,  furnishing  employment  to 
the  B&hama  wreckers.  The  rivers  and  coasts  of  Florida  yield  a  variety  of 
fish,  among  which  are  the  sheepshead,  mullet,  trout,  and  bass,  and  abundance 
of  shell-fish,  as  oysters,  shrimps,  crabs,  &c.  The  soil  of  Florida  is  in  some 
parts,  especially  on  the  banks  of  the  rivers,  equal  to  any  in  the  world ;  in 
other  parts  it  is  indifferent ;  and  there  Hre  large  tracts  which  are  represented 
to  be  of  little  value.  The  country,  however,  has  been  but  imperfectly  ex- 
plored, and  few  agricultural  experiments  have  been  made.  Much  of  the  land, 
which,  on  a  superficial  view,  has  been  supposed  to  be  not  worth  cultivating, 
it  is  believed  may  be  turned  to  very  profitable  account.  Owing  to  its  prox- 
imity to  the  sea  on  both  sides,  this  peninsula  has  a  milder  climate  than  the 
country  to  the  west  of  it,  in  the  same  latitude.  The  productions  are  cora, 
rice,  potatoes,  cotton,  hemp,  olives,  oranges,  and  other  tropical  fruits  ;  and  it 
is  supposed  that  coffee  and  the  sugar-cane  will  flourish  here.  The  pine  barrens 
produce  grass,  which  supports  an  immense  number  of  cattle.  The  forests 
yield  fine  live-oak,  pitch,  tar,  and  turpentine ;  and  lumber  has  been  exported 
for  nearly  a  century.  Among  the  most  fertile  lands  are  Forbes'  Purchase,  and 
the  Alachua  Savannah.  The  climate,  from  October  to  June,  is  generally  salu- 
brious; but  the  months  of  July,  August,  and  September,  are  extremely  hot  and 
uncomfortable ;  and  during  this  season  fevers  are  prevalent.  At  St.  Augustine, 
however,  the  climate  is  delightful ;  and  this  place  is  the  resort  of  invalids. 

The  principal  rivers  are  St.  John's,  Apalachicola,  Sumanee,  St.  Mark's, 
Oclockonne,  and  Connecuh. 

The  lakes  are  Macaca,  and  Lake  George. 

The  principal  bays  are  Pensacola,  St.  Rosa,  Apalachie,  Tampa,  Charlotte 
Harbor,  and  Chatham  Bay. 

The  Florida  canal  extends  from  the  month  of  the  river  St.  Mary's  to 
Apalachie  Bay ;  length,  250  miles.

WISCONSIN  TERRITORY. 


WISCONSIN  TERRITORY. 

This  territory  is  bounded  on  the  east  by  a  line  drawn  from  the  north-east 
comer  of  the  state  of  Illinois,  through  the  middle  of  lake  Michigan,  to  a  point 
in  the  middle  of  said  lake,  and  opposite  the  main  channel  of  Green  Bay,  and 
through  said  channel  and  Green  Bay  to  the  mouth  of  the  Menomonie  river ; 
thence  through  the  middle  of  the  main  channel  of  said  river,  to  that  head  of 
said  river  nearest  to  the  Lake  of  the  Desert ;  thence  in  a  direct  line,  to  the 
middle  of  said  lake ;  thence  through  the  middle  of  the  main  channel  of  the 
Montreal  river,  to  its  mouth ;  thence  with  a  direct  line  across  lake  Superior, 
to  where  the  territorial  line  of  the  United  States  last  touches  said  lake  north- 
west ;  thence  on  the  north,  with  the  said  territorial  line,  to  (he  White-earth 
river;  on  the  west,  by  a  line  from  the  said  boundary  line,  following  down  the 
middle  of  the  main  channel  of  White-earth  river,  to  the  Missouri  river,  and 
down  the  middle  of  the  main  channel  of  the  Missouri  river,  to  a  point  due 
west  from  the  north-west  corner  of  the  state  of  Missouri ;  r<  il  on  the  south, 
from  said  point,  due  east  to  the  north-west  comer  of  the  state  of  Missouri ; 
and  thence  with  the  boundaries  of  the  states  of  Missouri  and  Illinois. 

That  portion  lying  betwixt  the  northern  boundary  of  Illinois  and  the  Wis- 
consin river,  and  from  lake  Michigan  to  the  Mississippi,  has  the  Indian  title 
extinguished,  and,  in  part,  has  been  surveyed  and  brought  into  market. 
There  is  much  excellent  land  in  this  part  of  the  territory ;  and  it  is  well 
watered  with  perennial  streams  and  springs.  Offices  are  opened  for  the  sale 
of  public  lands,  at  Mineral  Point  and  Green  Bay,  and  a  large  amount  has 
been  sold,  and  some  at  a  high  price.  The  country  immediately  bordering  on 
lake  Michigan  is  well  timbered  with  various  trees.  Here  are  red,  white, 
black,  and  burr  oaks,  beech,  ash,  linden,  poplar,  walnut,  hickoryr  sugar  and 
white  maple,  elm,  birch,  hemlock,  and  pine,  with  many  other  kinds.  The 
soil  is  not  so  deep  and  dark  a  mould  as  in  the  prairies  of  Illinois,  but  is  fertile 
and  easily  cultivated ;  and  sandy,  especially  about  the  town  of  Green  Bay. 
Towards  the  lake,  and  near  the  body  of  water  called  Sturgeon  Bay,  con- 
nected with  Green  Bay,  and  between  that  and  the  lake,  are  extensive  swamps 
and  cranberry  marshes.  Wild  rice,  tamarisk,  and  spnice,  grow  here.  About 
Rock  river,  and  from  thence  to  the  Mississippi,  there  is  much  excellent  land, 
but  a  deficiency  of  timber.  Lead  and  copper  ore,  and  probably  other  mine- 
rals, abound  in  this  part  of  the  country.  Along  to  the  east  and  north  uf  the 
Four  lakes,  are  alternate  quagmires  and  sand  ridges,  for  50  miles  or  more, 
called  by  the  French  coureura  du  boia,  "Terre  Tremblant"  (trembling  land,) 
the  character  of  which  is  sufficiently  indicated  by  the  name. 

There  are  several  small  lakes  in  the  district  of  country  we  are  now  exa- 
mining, the  largest  of  which  is  Winnebago.  It  is  situated  30  or  40  miles 
(louth  of  Green  Bay ;  is  about  ten  miles  long  and  three  broad,  and  is  full  of 
wild  rice.  Fox  river  passes  through  it.  Kushkanong  is  six  or  eight  miles 
in  diameter,  with  some  swamps  and  quagmires  in  its  vicinity.  It  is  on  Rock 
river,  between  Catfish  and  Whitewater. 

The  Four  lakea  are  strung  along  on  a  stream  called  Catfish,  whii;h  enters 
Rock  river  26  or  30  miles  above  the  boundary  of  Illinois.  They  are  six  or 
eight  miles  long,  abounding  with  fish,  and  are  surrounded  with  an  excellent 
farming  country. 

Green  Bay  settlement  and  village  is  230  miles  north  of  Chicago,  220  north- 
east from  Galena,  120  from  Fort  Winnebago,  and  in  N.  latitude  44°  44'. 
Navarino  is  a  town  recently  commenced  in  this  vicinity,  with  an  excellent 
harbor,  grows  rapidly,  and  bids  fair  to  become  a  plaoe  of  importance.  Pro- 
perty has  risen  tlie  last  year  most  nitonirhingly.

Fort  Winnebago  is  a  military  post,  at  the  bend,  and  on  the  right  bank  of 
Fox  river,  opposite  the  portage.  From  thence  to  the  Wisconsin,  is  a  low 
wet  prairie,  of  three-fourths  of  a  mile,  through  which,  a  company  has  been 
chartered  to  cut  a  canal.  On  this  route,  the  first  explorers  reached  the  Mis- 
sissippi in  1673.  The  Wisconsin  river,  however,  without  considerable 
improvement,  is  not  navigable  for  steamboats,  at  ordinary  stages  of  the 
water,  without  much  trouble.  It  is  full  of  bars,  islands,  rocks,  and  has  a 
devious  channel. 

The  streams  that  rise  in  the  eastern  part  of  this  territory,  and  flow  into 
lake  Michigan,  north  of  the  boundary  of  Illinois,  are  in  order  us  follows : 
Pipe  creek,  a  small  stream,  but  a  few  miles  from  the  boundary ;  Root  liver, 
next;  then  Milwauke,  90  miles  from  Chicago.  It  rises  in  the  swampy 
country  south  of  Winnebago  lake,  runs  a  south-easterly  course,  and,  ailer 
receiving  the  Menomone,  forms  Milwaukee  bay.  Here  is  a  town  site,  on 
'jotk  sides  of  the  river,  with  a  population  of  six  or  eight  hundred,  which  pro- 
mises  to  become  a  place  of  ousiness.  The  soil  up  the  Milwaukee  is  goodi 
from  six  to  twelve  inches  in  depth,  a  black  loam  .md  sand.^ 

Passing  northward  down  the  lake  is  Oak  creek,  0  milea  below  Milwaukee ; 
thence  21  miles  is  Sauk  creek,  a  small  stream.  Seventy  miles  from  Milwau- 
kee is  Shab-wi-wi-a-gun.  Here  is  found  white  pine,  maple,  beech,  birch,  and 
spruce,  but  very  litde  oak :  the  surface  level  and  sandy.  Pigeon  river  is  IS 
or  20  miles  further  on,  with  excellent  land  on  its  borders ;  timber — maple, 
ash,  beech,  linden,  elm,  &c.  Fifteen  miles  further  down,  is  Manatawok. 
Here  commences  the  iiemlock.  with  considerable  pine.  This  stream  is  about 
40  or  60  miles  from  Green  Bay  settlement.  Twin  rivers  are  below  Manata- 
wok, with  sandy  soil,  and  good  timber  of  pine  and  ether  varieties.  From 
Milwaukee  to  Green  Bay,  by  a  surveyed  route,  is  1 12  miles  ;  by  ths  Indian 
trail,  commonly  travelled,  136  miles.  North  of  the  ^Vigconsin  river,  is  daw- 
ford  county,  of  which  Prairie  du  Chien  is  the  seat  of  justice.  From  the  great 
bend  at  Fort  Winnebago,  across  towards  the  Mississippi,  is  a  series  of  abr'pt 
hills,  rising  se''eral  hundred  feet,  and  covered  with  a  dense  forcsl  of  elm, 
linden,  oak,  walunt,  ash,  sugar-maple,  &e.  The  soil  is  rich,  but  is  too  hilly 
and  broken  for  agricultural  purposes.  Theie  is  no  alluvial  'loil,  or  bottooiit 
along  the  streams,  or  grass  m  the  forests. 

The  Wisconsin  river  rises  in  an  unexplored  country  towards  lake  Superior*; 
The  coureura  du  boia  and  voyagmra  represent  it  as  a  cold,  mountainotMJ^^ 
dreary  region,  with  swamps. 

West  of  the  Mississippi,  above  Des  Moinec,  and  extending  northward  to  a 
point  auwe  distance  above  the  northern  bo'indary  of  Illinois,  and  for  60  milea 
interior,  is  a  valuable  country,  purchased  of  the  Indians  in  1832.  Its  titreama 
rise  in  the  great  prairies,  run  an  east  or  f  luth-eastern  course  into  the  Missis- 
sippi. The  most  noted  are  Flint,  Skunk,  Wau-be-se-pin-e-con,  Upper  and 
Lower  Iowa  rivers,  and  Turkey,  Catfish,  'ind  Big  and  Little  Ma-quo-ka-toia, 
or  Bear  creeks.  The  soil,  in  general,  is  lixcellent,  and  very  much  resemblea 
the  military  tract  in  Illinois.  The  water  is  excellent ;  plenty  of  lime,  sand, 
and  freestone ;  extensive  prairies,  and  a  deficiency  of  timber,  a  few  milea 
interior.  About  Dubuque,  opposite  Galena,  are  extensive  and  rich  lead 
mines.  Burlington  is  a  town  containing  a  population  of  700,  at  the  Flint 
hills  opposite  Warren  county,  Illinois.  Dubuque  is  situated  on  the  Missis- 
sippi, on  a  sandy  bottom,  above  high  water,  and  14  miles  N.  W.  from  Galena.^ 
It  has  about  00  stores  and  groceries,  2  taverns,  2  churches,  and  about  1000 
inhabitants.  Peru  is  in  the  vicinity,  and  contains  about  600  inhabitants. 
The  New  Purchase,  as  this  district  of  country  is  called,  is  divided  into  two 
counties,  Dubuque  and  Des  Moines,  and  contains  a  population  of  8  or  10,000. 
The  whole  Wisconsin  Territory  is  estimated  by  its  legislature,  now  in  session, 
to  contain  30,000  inhabitanta

Mountains,  i:ompritio^  tht;  greater  j>urt  vt  che  we<,idm  slope  of  the  Mississippi 
valley,  and  is  almoei  wholly  uriinh.ibited,  except  by  Indians. 

A  bolt  of  country,  extending  from  200  to  400  miles  to  the  west  of  the  Mis- 
sissippi, is  covered,  in  gseat  part,  with  forests.  To  the  west  of  this  is  found 
a  vast  region  of  plains  reaching  to  the  Rocky  Mountains ;  in  some  parts  it  is 
fertile  and  covered  with  grass,  and  in  others  sandy  and  sterile.  It  has  been 
compared  to  the  steppe^:  of  Central  Asia,  and  some  portions  of  it  to  the  African 
desert  of  Sahara.  Tl^f;  i»argins  of  the  lower  courses  of  the  rivers  that  enter 
the  Mississippi  from  thi<!  region  ave  wooded ;  but  in  ascending  towards  the 
mountains,  the  trees  gradnaily  diminish,  and  at  length  entirely  disappear. 

To  the  west  of  these  plains  the  Rocky  Mountains  rise  up  in  an  abrupt  man- 
ner, presenting  a  steep  front,  with  many  frowning  rocky  precipices,  and  having 
many  summits  covered  with  perpetual  snow.  It  is  a  singular  fact  that,  between 
the  sources  of  the  La  Platte  and  the  Buenaventura,  there  is  an  opening  through 
this  range  which  admits  the  passage  of  loaded  wagons. 

The  largest  rivers  of  tbbs  country  are  the  Missouri  and  its  tributaries,  the 
Konsas  or  Kansas,  La  Platte,  and  Yellowstone. 

The  Great  Falls  of  the  Missouri,  which  are  2S70  miles  by  the  rivor  from 
the  Mississippi,  consist  of  a  succession  of  cataracts  and  rapids,  amounting  in 
the  whole  jo  850  feet  The  largest  cataract,  which  is  87  feet  perpendicular, 
presents  a  scene  of  much  beauty  and  grandeur. 

The  plaoe  where  the  Missouri  seems  to  have  torn  for  itself  a  passage  through 
the  mountain  ridge,  called  the  Gates  of  the  Rocky  Mountains,  is  described  as  a 
very  sublime  spectacle.  The  river  flows  through  a  chasm  more  than  five 
miles  long,  where  the  rocks  rise  perpendicularly  from  the  waters  edge  to  the 
heij^t  of  nearly  1200  feet.  The  stream  is  here  compressed  to  the  width  of 
160  yards ;  and  for  the  space  of  threp  miles,  there  m  but  one  spot  on  which  a 
man  can  stand,  between  the  edge  of  the  water  and  the  perpendicular  aMsnt  of 
the  mountain  rock. 

The  United  States  have  established  military  posts  at  Council  Bluffii  and  on 
St  Peter's  river.

OREGON  TERRITORY. 


OREGON  TERRITORY. 


107 


This  is  an  extensive  country,  lying  between  the  Rocky  Mountains  and  tho 
Pacific  ocean ;  but  it  is  little  known. 

I*,  is  watered  by  the  river  Oregon,  or  Columbia,  and  its  branches,  the  princi- 
pal of  which  are  Lewis's  river,  Clark's  river,  and  the  Multnomah. 

The  country  bordering  on  the  Oregon  and  its  branches,  is  represented  as 
having  a  good  soil,  and  is  covered  with  heavy  timber,  consisting  chiefly  of  va 
rious  species  of  fir ;  many  of  the  trees  being  of  enormous  height. 

At  a  distance  from  the  ocean  the  country  is  mountainous,  destitute  of  trees, 
and  much  of  it  barren.  Extensive  prairies  are  found  on  the  west,  as  well  as 
on  the  cast  side  of  the  Rocky  Mountains. 

The  climate,  in  the  mountainoud  parts,  is  severe ;  but  near  the  shores  of  the 
Pacific  ocean,  it  is  much  milder  than  in  the  same  latitude  on  the  Atlantic. 

This  country  was  explored  by  Lewis  and  Clark,  in  1806;  and  in  1811,  « 
trading  establishment  was  formed  at  Astoria  by  some  Americans.

In  out)  of  thoso  aerial  valleys,  otaoda  thu  city  of  Mexico,  7,400  feet  above 
level  of  tlie  Gulf  of  MeMio.  From  this  difRjn;nco  of  elevation,  and  from  cm- 
bracing  such  an  cxtcnHive  range  within  and  without  tlie  tropica,  Mexico  may  be 
considf^rcd  us  pomesMing  every  climate  of  the  earth,  and  capable  of  producing 
every  vegetable  nmesaary  to  the  wants  or  the  luxuri«!«  of  human  life.  Ita  uie> 
tallic  wealth  is  no  leu  tbundant  than  its  vegetables.  From  its  bowdi)  are 
extracted  mauy  of  the  most  useful,  and  alt  tho  precious  metals. 

Mexico  is  purhaps  bettor  calculated  than  any  oth(;r  part  of  tho  earth,  to  form 
a  political  coiumuoity  capable  of  producing  within  its  own  limits,  all  that  the 
necessities,  th*  aits,  or  elegancies  of  society  can  demand. 

Mexico  has  do  stave*  worth  notice;  that  class  of  its  population  not  amount 
ing,  at  the  utmost,  to  more  than  10,000 ;  or  us  1  (o  084  of  the  entire  b(xiy  of 
th«  people.  The  civilir«d  Indiuiu  form  more  than  two>tiilhs  of  tho  whole,  ami 
ara  the  laboring,  productive,  and  efficient,  though  not  the  ruling  people. 

The  manufactures  of  Mexico  are  said  to  be  very  considerable,  consisting  of 
oottoo,  wooJ,  leather,  tobacco,  gunpowder,  6tc.. ;  but  a«  no  recent  accoimt  has 
boen  received  of  tbeoif  a  deacription  will  be  omitted. 

_  Every  reader  knows,  that  those  of  the  precious  metals  are  generally 

found  among  mountains ;  and  that  this  is  the  country  of  sdver  and 

Sold.  The  annual  produce,  in  ordinary  years,  used  seldom  to  fall  below 
8S),000,000  of  (iiiver.  The  gold  is  found  in  little  straw-liko  fragments  nnil 
voint.  The  richieist  mine,  in  its  yield  of  native  silver,  is  Bartopiios  in  Now 
Biscay.  In  most  of  them,  the  metal  is  extracted  from  red,  black,  miiriated  and  , 
sulphuretted  ores  of  silver.  In  South  America,  the  chief  mines  ar')  found  on 
the  summits  of  tho  yVndes,  in  the  regions  of  pcrpetuid  frost  and  ice.  In  Mexico, 
on  the  contrary,  the  richest,  such  as  those  of  Guunoxuato,  Zacatccas,  Tusco, 
and  Real  de  Monte,  arc  found  betvcen  5,500  and  6,600  feet  high.  The  climnto 
is  delightfiil,  and  the  vicinity  abounds  with  forests,  and  every  facility  to  work 
tlie  mines  to  advantage.  A  catalogue  of  the  names  of  60  mines  might  easily 
be  given,  extending  from  Santa  Pe,  at  tho  sources  of  tho  Rio  del  Norte,  to  the 
Paofic. 

Mexico  has  but  few  good  harbors ;  yome  of  the  best  and  most  frequented  arc 
Vera  Crass  and  Tan:pico  on  the. gulf  of  Mexico;  and  Acapulco  and  San  Bias 
on  the  Pacific  Ocean.  Vera  Cruz  is  the  port  through  which  most  of  the  com- 
merce between  Mexico  and  Europe  lias  been  carried  on. 

In  the  tropical  rentuos  the  year  is  divided  into  only  two  seasons,  called  tin* 
nttnjf  and  the  dry.  The  rainy  season  commences  in  June  or  July,  and  coii- 
tinues  aboot  foiir  months,  till  September  or  October,  when  the  dry  season  com- 
mences and  continaea  about  eight  montlis.  On  the  lo^^  lands  upon  the  coast, 
the  climate  is  hot  and  unhealthy.  On  the  declivity  of  the  Cordillera  at  the 
elevation. of  4  or  6000  feet,  there  reigns  perpetually  a  soft  spring  temperature, 
which  never  varies  more  than  eight  or  nine  degrees.  At  the  elevation  of  7000 
feet,  commences  another  region,  the  mean  temperature  of  which  is  about  60°. 
Mexico  is  in  this  region,  and  the  ther^meter  there  has  been  known  in  a  fcAV 
instances  to  descend  belovr  the  freezing  point.    It  never  rises  above  76°. 

The  prodtictions  of  this  coimtry  are  as  various  as  its  climate.  In  the  course 
of  a  few  hundred  miles,  you  may  meet  with  almost  all  the  fruits  of  the  temper- 
ote  and  torrid  zones.  The  soU  j»f  the  table  land  is  remarkably  productive. 
Maiaie  ia  iar  the  moat  importaat  opject  of  agriculture,  and  in  some  places,  from 
two  to  three  harvests  may  be  taken  annually.  Wheat,  rye,  and  barley  are

GUATIMALA,  on  CENTRAL  AMERICA. 

OvATiMALA  consists  of  a  long  isthmus,  forming  the  southornjnost  part  of 
North  America,  and  lying  between  the  Caribbean  sea  and  the  Pacific  ocean 
It  was  formerly  subject  to  Spain,  but  was  declared  independent  in  1831 ;  and 
it  has  since  been  named,  (Vom  iu  situation,  the  Republic  of  Central  America. 

Volcanoes  are  extremely  numerous,  and  some  of  them  terrific  {  no  loss  than 
20  are  in  constant  activity.  The  general  appearance  of  the  soil  is  extremely 
fertile,  and  Ouatimala  produces  abundantly  com,  cochineal,  grapM,  honey, 
wax.  cotton,  fine  wool,  and  dye-woods.  The  population  has  been  eatunttad 
at  2,000,000. 

Length  from  north-west  to  south-east,  1000  miles.  The  settled  jmtiM  are 
chiefly  along  the  Pacific  ocean,  and  average  about  100  miles  in  width.  The 
whole  of  Central  America  is  subdivided  into  the  provinces  of  Chiapa,  Vera 
Pax,  Guatimala,  Honduras,  Nicaragua,  and  Costa  Rica.  The  country  is  exoes- 
Lively  mountainous,  and  volcanoes  are  numerous. 

St.  Juan  is  the  principal  river.  The  chief  towns  are  GuatinudSi  tho  capital ; 
Nicaragua,  and  Leon.    The  minerals  are  gold  and  silver. 


BRITISH  AMERICA. 


BarrisH  Ambbioa  is  a  vast  extent  of  country,  comprehending  all  the  north- 
em  part  of  the  continent,  except  the  Russian  possesiuons  in  U^  aorth-weet, 
and  Greenland  on  the  north-east. 

It  comprises  Lower  Canada,  Upper  Canada,  Nova  Scotia,  and  New  Bruns- 
wick ;  the  islands  of  Newfoundland,  St.  John's,  and  Cape  Breton ;  and  thp 
vast  region  of  New  Britain,  or  Hudsonia. 

The  government  of  the  whole  country  is  under  a  governor-general,  whose 
residence  is  at  Quebec ;  and  each  of  the  provinces  has  a  lieutenant-governor. 

The  established  religion  is  that  of  the  Church  of  England,  and  there  are 
two  bishops,  one  residing  at  Quebec,  and  the  other  at  Hahiax}  but  nwat  of  the 
inhabitants  of  Lower  Canada  are  CathoUcs. 


LOWER  CANADA. 

LowcR  Canada  extends  from  lat.  45°  to  52°  N.,  and  from  li 
H°  SO'  W.  flrom  Washington ;  bounded  S.  by  the  United  States,

162  LOWER  CAW  ADA. 

Canada,  N.  by  the  territories  of  the  Hudson  Bay  Company,  and  E.  by  the  Gulf 
of  St.  Lawrence ;  reaching  about  500  miles  from  S.  to  N.,  and  600  from  E. 
to  W.,  with  an  area  of  liiO,000  square  miles.  It  is  divided  into  four  large  dis- 
tricts, Montreal,  Three  Rivers,  Quebec,  and  Gaspe. 

Lower  Canada  lies  on  both  sides  of  the  St.  Lawrence,  and  is  separated  from 
Upper  Canada  by  the  Utawas. 

The  great  river  St.  Lawrence  forms  the  most  striking  feature  of  the  country. 
The  other  principal  rivers  are  the  Saguenai,  St.  Maurice,  Chaudiere,  St.  Fran- 
cis, Richelieu  or  Sorel,  and  Utawas.     The  cities  are  Quebec  and  Montreal. 

The  country  is  intersected  by  ridges  of  mountains,  with  fertile  valleys  inter- 
vening ;  but  the  greater  part  is  still  covered  with  forests.  The  most  populous 
part  of  Lower  Canada  consists  of  a  fertile  valley,  mostly  level,  through  the 
middle  of  which  the  St.  Lawrence  flows.  The  climate  is  subject  to  great  ex- 
tremes of  heat  and  cold.  The  winters  are  lone  and  severe :  the  thermometer 
sometimes  rises,  in  summer,  to  100  degrees,  and  sinks,  ir     inter,  to  40  below  0. 

In  a  state  of  nature,  Uswer  Canada  was  covered  with  an  immense  forest  ui 
very  loAy  timber,  much  of  which  yet  remains.  The  settlements  extend  along 
or  near  uie  streams,  in  general  where  the  soil  is  most  fertile,  and  means  of 
navigation  most  attainable.  In  the  angle  N.  from  lat.  45°  N.  to  the  St.  Law- 
rence river,  the  soil  is  generally  very  productive,  and  settlements  advancing 
ri^iidly.  Eastward  of  this  triangle,  to  the  Gulf  of  St.  Lawrence,  lite  country 
IS  hilly,  broken,  barren,  and  but  very  thinly  settled.  From  the  Mingan  settle- 
ment, on  the  nonh  side  of  the  Gulf  of  St.  Lawrence,  to  a  short  distance  above 
Quebec,  the  left  shore  of  that  great  stream  is  rocky  and  precipitous.  This 
range  of  hills  leaves  the  river  below  the  mouth  of  St.  Maurice,  and  extends 
towards  the  Utawas,  which  it  intersects  about  120  miles  above  its  junction  with 
the  St.  Lawrence.  A  very  productive  body  of  land  is  inclosed  between  this 
ridge  and  the  respective  rivers.  Beyond  this  latter  tract,  and  the  margin  of 
the  atrauuB,  the  country  to  the  northward  is  >      very  imperfectly  known. 

The  population  of  Lower  Canada  in  1680  -    j  as  follows : 

District  of  Montreal 287,119 

"        Quebec 161,167 

"        Three  Rivera 66,270 

"        Gaspe 1,008 

Total 496,668 

Lower  Canada  is  favorably  situated  fbr  commerce.  Some  of  the  principal 
exports  are  fur,  timber,  and  potashes. 

This  country  was  originally  settled  by  the  French,  and  as  many  as  four- 
fiflhs  of  the  present  inhabitants  are  descendants  of  that  nation.  They  live  in 
great  simplicity,  resembling  a  European  peasantry ;  are  polite  and  peaceable, 
but  possessed  of  httle  enterprise,  and  their  education  is  too  generally  neglected. 

Tlieir  houae^  are  built  of^  stone  and  plastered ;  are  made  extremely  warm  by 
n/tbaxa  of  stovc!<i;  but  are  seldom  of  more  than  one  story,  except  in  the  towns. 

The  govemrSneut  is  in  the  hands  of  a  governor,  lieutenant-go^frnor,  execu« 
tive  council,  who  aire  appointed  by  the  king,  and  a  house  of  assembly,  who  are 
representatives  of  the  people.  The  prevailing  religion  is  Roman  Catholic ;  of 
.his  persuasion  there  is  a  bishop  of  Quebec,  a  coadjutor,  with  the  title  of  bishop 
of  Salde,  nine  vicara  general,  and  about  200  curates  and  missionarief,,  spread 
over  the  diflerent  districts  of  the  province.  The  revenues  of  the  Catholic  clergy 
are  derived  in  part  from  grants  niade  of  land  to  them  under  the  ancient  regime. 
The  spiritual  concerns  of  the  Protestants  are  under  the  guidance  of  the  Lord 
Bishop  of  Qucuec,  nine  rectors,  and  a  competent  number  of  other  clergymen, 
who  are  supported  in  part  by  annual  stipends  from  the  government,  and  tbe 
appropriations  of  one-seventh  of  all  granted  lands.

UPPER  CANADA. 


FALLS  OF  HONTMORENCI. 

The  MontmorencI  falls  into  the  St.  Lawrence  seven  miles  below  Quebec. 
The  river,  just  above  its  junction  with  the  St.  Lawrence,  after  passing  through 
a  wild  and  thickly  wooded  country,  over  a  bed  of  barren  rocks,  with  precipi- 
tous brinks  of  lime-stone,  from  200  to  300  feet  in  height,  rushes  down  a  preci- 
pice of  240  feet.  The  cataract  is  almost  perpendicular ;  the  deviation  being 
just  sufHcient  to  break  the  water  completely  into  foam  and  spray.  The  width 
of  the  river,  at  the  top  of  the  falls,  is  about  60  feet,  but  the  stream  dilates  in 
descending. 

In  its  fall  the  water  has  the  exact  appearance  of  snow^  when  thrown  in  hmps 
from  the  roof  of  a  house.  The  eiieot  on  the  beholder  is  most  delightful.  Trie 
river  at  some  distance  seems  suspended  in  the  air,  in  a  sheet  of  billowy  foam ; 
and  contrasted  with  the  black  frowning  abyss,  into  which  it  falls,  is  an  object 
of  the  highest  interest.  On  a  near  approach,  the  impressions  of  grandeur  and 
sublimity  are  finely  blended  with  those  of  extraordinary  beauty. 

The  spray  here,  as  at  other  similar  cataracts,  serves  as  a  medium  forforming 
the  most  beautiful  rainbows.  In  the  winter  the  spray  freezes,  and  Aortas  a 
regular  cone,  of  sometimes  100  feet  in  height,  standing  immediately  at  the  bot- 
tom of  the  cataract.

UPPER  CANADA. 

Upper  Canada  is  bounded  N.  by  the  territory  of  the  Hudson's  Bay  Com- 
pany ;  N.  E.  and  E.  by  Lower  Canada ;  S.  E.  and  S.  by  the  United  States ; 
on  the  W.  and  N.  W.  no  limits  have  been  assigned  to  it. 

In  1830  it  contained  the  following  districts  and  population  : — 

Gore 23,662 

Home 32,871 

Western 0,970 

Niagara 21,074 

London 26,180 

Newcastle 16,498 

Midland 86,322 

Ottawa 4,468 

Bathurst « 20,113 

Eastern II.IOS 

Johnstown 21,901 

Total .234,866 

These  districts  are  subdivided  into  counties,  and  the  counties  into  townships 
These  townships  are  laid  out  principally  along  the  banks  of  the  St.  Law-

rence,  Lake  Ontario,  Lake  Erie,  and  Lake  St.  Clair,  and  extend  back  ibr  a 
distance,  varying  from  40  to  50  miles.  The  soil  throughout  is  scarcely  excelled 
by  any  portion  of  North  America.  In  the  rear  of  the  townships  are  large 
tracts  of  land  stretching  far  to  the  north,  covered  with  immense  forests,  and 
little  known  except  to  the  Indians ;  but  it  has  been  ascertained  that  there  arc 
many  large  tracts  of  rich  soil.  The  climate  is  salubrious.  The  winters  are 
shorter  and  milder  than  in  Lower  Canada.  The  spring  opens  usually  from  six 
weeks  to  two  months  earlier  than  at  Quebec.  The  population  of  Upper  Canada 
has  increased  with  great  rapidity.  In  1783,  it  did  not  exceed  10,000  souls. 
In  1814,  it  was  95,000 ;  and  in  1830,  234,866. 

For  the  defence  of  the  Canadas,  a  regular  military  establishment  is  main- 
tained by  the  British  government,  amounting  in  common  to  between  20,000  and 
30,000  men.  This  force  is  stationed  at  various  points  along  the  great  line  of 
the  St.  Lawrence. 

There  are  two  large  canals  in  Upper  Canada ;  Welland  Canal,  connecting 
lakes  Erie  and  Ontario,  41  miles  long ;  and  Rideau  Canal,  connecting  lake 
Ontario  with  the  river  Utawas,  160  miles  long. 

The  Welland  Canal  commences  near  the  mouth  of  Grand  river  on  Lake  Erie, 
40  miles  north-west  of  Buffalo.  It  connects  Lake  Erie  and  Lake  Ontario  by 
canal  navigation,  overcoming  all  the  descent  of  Niagara  Falls  and  Niagara 
river  between  the  two  lakes.  It  admits  vessels  of  125  tons,  being  wider  and 
deeper  than  any  other  canal  in  the  country,  except  the  Delaware  and  Chesa- 
peake. The  elevation  overcome  by  the  locks  is  320  feet.  The  canal  required 
prodigious  excavations,  in  some  places  through  solid  stone.  The  "Ravine 
Locks"  arc  said  to  be  the  most  striking  canal  spectacle  to  be  seen  in  America, 
aunauof  'I''*®  extremes  of  heat  and  cold  are  astonishing ;  Fahrenheit's  ther- 
Uie  Canada!  mometer  in  the  months  of  July  and  August,  rising  to  100°,  and  yet 
°  •*"  'in  winter  the  mercury  generally  freezes.  Chan^  of  weather,  how- 
ever, are  less  frequent,  and  the  seasons  more  regular  than  m  the  United  States. 
Snow  not  unfrequently  begins  to  fall  in  October,  and  increases  in  November ; 
in  December  the  clouds  are  generally  dissolved,  and  the  sky  assumes  a  bright 
hue,  continuing  for  weeks  without  a  single  cloud. 

Here,  however,  winter  is  the  season  for  amusement,  and  the  sledges  drawn 
by  one  or  two  horses,  afford  a  speedy  and  pleasant  conveyance  in  travelling ; 
but  on  going  abroad,  all  parts  of  the  body,  except  the  eyes,  must  be  thickly 
covered  with  furs. 

In  May  the  thaw  comes  on  suddenly,  and  in  its  progress  the  ice  on  the  river 
St.  Lawrence  bursts  with  the  noise  of  cannon,  and  passes  towards  the  ocean 
with  tremendous  rapidity  and  violence.  The  progress  of  vegetation  is  aston- 
ishing. Spring  has  scarcely  appeared  before  it  is  succeeded  by  summer.  In 
a  few  days  the  trees  regain  their  foliage,  and  the  fields  are  clothed  with  the 
richest  verdure.     September,  generally,  is  one  of  the  most  agreeable  months. 

The  Canadian  horses  are  nxxgtly  small  and  heavy ;  but  very  brisk  on  the 
road,  travelling  at  the  rate  of  8  or  9  miles  an  hour.  The  calash,  a  sort  of  one 
horse  chaise,  capable  of  holding  two  persons  and  a  driver,  is  the  carriage  most 
generally  in  use. 

The  Canadians  have  a  species  of  large  dogs  which  are  used  in  drawing 
burdens.  They  are  yoked  into  little  carts :  in  this  way  people  frequently  go 
to  market.  Sometimes  they  perform  long  journeys  in  the  winter  reason,  on 
the  snow,  by  half  a  dozen  or  more  of  these  animals  yoked  into  a  cariole  or 
sledge. 

The  river  St.  Laxvrence  is  the  only  channel,  by  which  the  commodities^^  of 
tliese  two  provinces  have  hitherto  (bund  their  way  to  the  ocean.  The  principal 
exports  consist  of  oak  and  pine  timber,  deals,  ma^ts,  ond  bowsprits,  spars  of  all 
denominations,  staves,  pot  and  pearl  ashes,  peltry,  wEieat,  flour,  biscuit,  Indian

produce  from  Great  Kritain. 

The  government  of  Upper  Canada  is  administered  by  a  lieutenant-governor, 
(who  is  almost  always  a  military  officer,)  a  lesislative  council,  an  executive 
council,  and  a  house  of  assembly.  The  legislative  council  consists  of  not  less 
than  7  members,  of  which  the  chief  justice  of  the  province  is  president,  and 
wherein  the  bishop  of  Quebec  has  a  seat ;  the  members  are  appointed  by  man- 
damus  from  the  kmg,  and  hold  their  seats,  under  certain  restrictions,  for  life. 
The  executive  council  is  composed  of  6  members ;  the  chief  justice  is  president, 
and  the  bishop  of  Quebec  likewise  has  a  seat  in  it.  Thu  house  of  assembly  is 
composed  of  25  members,  who  are  returned  from  the  23  counties ;  the  dura- 
tion of  the  assembly  is  limited  to  4  years.  The  civil  and  criminal  law  is  ad- 
ministered by  a  chief  justice  and  two  puisne  judges.  There  ra  a  court  of  king's 
bench,  common  pleas,  and  a  court  of  appeal.  The  expense  of  tho  civil  list  is 
defrayed  by  Great  Britain.

FALLS  OF  NIAGARA. 

The  Falls  of  Niagara  are  esteemed  the  grandest  object  of  the  kind  in  the 
world.  Though  there  are  other  falls  which  have  a  greater  perpendicular 
descent,  yet  there  is  none  in  the  known  world  where  so  great  a  mass  of  water 
is  raecipitated  from  so  great  a  height. 

The  distance  of  the  falls  above  Lake  Ontario  is  14  miles,  and  below  Lake 
Erie  23  miles  on  the  New  York  side,  and  21  on  the  Caunda  side.  At  the  dis- 
tance of  a  mile  and  three-quarters  above  the  falls,  the  river  begins  to  descend 
with  a  rapid  and  powerful  cu -r«'^s  At  the  falls,  it  turns  with  a  right  angle  to 
the  north-enst,  and  h.  suddenly  oantracted  in  width,  from  three  miles  to  three- 
fourths  of  a  mile.  Below  the  'lataract,  the  river  is  only  half  a  mile  wide,  but 
its  depth  is  said  to  exceed  300  leeu  The  descent  within  10  miles  is  about  300 
feet,  and  from  Lake  Erie  to  Lake  Ontp.rio  834  feet.  The  agitation  and  rapid 
current  continue  about  f<  miles  below  the  cataract,  nearly  to  Queenstown,  and 
the  river  does  not  beac-.>,^  sufliciently  calm  to  cdroit  of  navigation  till  it  reaches 
that  place.  Below  the  &1Ib,  it  is  inclosed  in  perpendicular-  banks  300  feet 
high.  Tlie  best  single  view  of  the  cataract  Ls  that  from  Table  Rock,  on  the 
Canada  side;  the  best  view  of  the  rapids  is  from  Goat  Island,  which  is  con- 
nected with  the  eastern  shore  by  a  bridge. 

The  precipice  over  which  the  river  d^Ksends,  is  formed  by  the  brow  of  a  vast 
bed  of  lime.  The  perpendicular  descent,  according  to  the  measurement  of 
Major  Prescot,  is  161  feet.  The  descent  is  perpendicular,  except  that  rocks 
are  hollowed  underneath  the  surface,  particularly  on  the  western  side.  The 
cataract  is  divided  into  two  parts  by  Gwat,  o:  Iris  Island,  which  occupies  one- 
fiAh  or  one-sixth  of  the  wholo  breadth.  The  principal  channel  is  on  the  west- 
ern side,  and  is  called  the  Horse-shoe  Fall,  from  its  shape.   The  eastern  chan- 


166 


UPPER  f  ANADA. 


nel  is  divided  by  another  small  islanu.  The  descent  on  the  eastern  side  is 
stated  at  162  feet,  btii  ;^  greater  than  on  the  western,  but  the  water  is  more 
hollow.  The  quantity  df  water  discharged  in  an  hour,  is  computed  at  about 
100,000,000  tons. 

The  noise  of  the  falls  resembles  the  hoarse  roar  of  the  ocean ;  being  much 
graver,  or  less  shrill  than  that  of  smaller  cataracts.  It  is  not  unfrequently 
heard  at  York,  60  miles  distant.  When  two  persons  stand  very  near  each 
other,  they  can  mutually  hear  their  ordinary  conversation  ;  when  removed  to 
a  small  distance,  they  are  obliged  to  halloo,  and  when  removed  a  little  farther, 
they  cannot  be  heard  at  all.  Every  sound  is  drowned  in  the  tempest  of  noise 
made  by  the  water ;  and  all  else  in  the  regions  of  nature  appears  to  be  dumb. 
The  noise  is  a  vast  thunder,  filling  the  heavens,  shaking  the  earth,  and  leaving 
the  mind,  although  perfectly  conscious  of  safety  and  oiiected  with  a  sense  of 
grandeur  only,  lost  and  astonished,  swelling  with  emotions  which  engross  all 
its  faculties,  and  mock  the  power  of  utterance. 

A  large  majestic  cloud  of  vapor  rises  without  intermission  from  the  whole 
breadth  of  the  river  below ;  and  ascending  with  a  slow  solemn  progress,  partly 
spreads  itself  down  the  stream  by  an  arching  and  wonderfully  magnificent 
motion  ;  and  partly  mounts  to  heaven,  blown  into  every  wild  fantai  tical  form ; 
when  separated  into  smaller  clouds,  it  successively  floats  away  titrough  the 
atmosphere.     This  cloud  is  said  to  be  visible  at  the  distance  of  60  or  70  miles. 

"  In  the  mist  produced  by  all  cataracts,"  observes  Dr.  Dwight,  from  whom 
this  account  is  chiefly  extracted,  "  rainbows  are  ordinarily  seen  in  proper  posi- 
tions when  the  sun  shines ;  always,  indeed,  unless  when  the  vapor  is  too  rare. 
Twice,  while  we  were  here,  the  sun  broke  through  the  cloude,  ?nd  lighted  np  i  j 
a  moment  the  most  lucid  rainbow  that  I  ever  beheld.  In  each  instance  the 
phenomenon  continued  a  long  time,  and  left  us  in  perfect  leisure  to  enjoy  its 
splendors.  It  commenced  near  the  precipice,  and  extended,  so  far  as  I  was 
able  to  judge,  at  least  a  mile  dov.'n  the  river.  In  one  respect,  both  these  rain- 
bows diflfered  widely  from  all  otheis  which  I  had  seen.  The  red,  orange,  ana 
yellow  were  so  vivid,  as  to  excite  in  our  whole  company  strong  emotions  of 
surprise  and  pleasure,  while  the  green,  blue,  indigo,  and  violet,  were  certainly 
not  more  brilliant  than  those  which  are  usually  seen  on  the  bosom  of  a  shower. 

"  The  emotions  excited  by  a  view  of  this  stupendous  scene,  are  unutterable. 
When  the  spectator  castd  his  eye  over  the  long  ranges  of  ragged  cliflTs,  which 
form  the  shores  of  this  great  river  below  the  cataract ;  clifls  150  feet  in  height, 
bordenrig  it  with  lonely  gloom  and  grandeur,  and  shrouded  everywho^re  by 
shaggy  forests ;  when  he  surveys  the  precipice  above,  stretching  with  so  great 
an  amplitude,  risir  _,  to  a  great  height,  and  presenting  at  a  single  view  its  awful 
brow,  with  an  im^iression  not  a  little  enhanced  by  the  division  which  the  island 
forms  between  the  two  great  branches  of  the  river ;  when  ho  contemplates  the 
enormous  mass  of  water  pouring  from  this  astonishing  height  iti  sheets  so  vast, 
and  with  a  force  so  amazing ;  when,  turning  his  eye  to  the  mighty  mass,  and 
listening  to  the  ms^jestic  sound  which  fills  the  heavens,  his  mind  is  overwlielmed 
by  thoughts  too  great,  and  by  impressions  too  povcriul,  to  permit  the  current 
of  the  intellect  to  flow  with  serenity.  The  disturt>ance  of  his  mind  resembles 
that  of  the  waters  beneath  him.  His  bosom  swells  with  emotions  never  before 
felt ;  his  thoughts  labor  in  a  manner  nevur  before  known.  The  pleasure  is 
"xquisite,  but  violent.  The  conceptions  are  clear  and  strong,  but  rapid  and 
lumultuous.  The  stri'ggle  withir^  is  discovered  by  the  fixeJnes*)  of  his  position, 
the  solemnity  ot  his  aspect,  and  the  intense  gaze  of  his  eye.  When  he  moves, 
his  motion^!  appear  uncontrived.  When  he  is  spoken  to,  he  is  silent;  or  if  he 
speaks,  his  answers  are  short,  wandering  from  the  subjrut,  ami  indicating  that 
^•e'-.ce  of  mind  which  is  the  result  of  laboring  contemplation."

BotiNDKD  N.  by  Lower  Cauada ;  E.  by  the  Gulf  of  St.  Lawrence : 
thu  Kay  of  Fundy  and  Nova  Scotia ;  and  W.  by  the  United  States. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  St.  Johns,  Miramichi  and  Ristigouche.  The 
lands  oti  the  rivers,  especially  on  the  St.  John,  are  very  fertile,  and  the  set- 
tlements lie  principally  on  this  river  and  on  tiie  Miramichi.  Coal  of  a 
.su|H:.Tior  quality  is  round  on  the  Gntnd  Lake  near  St.  John's  river.  The  tract 
of  country  so  prolific  in  gypsum,  commences  in  this  province  at  Martin's 
head  on  the  bny  of  Fundy,  and  rnte ads  east  into  Nova  Scotia.  The  chief 
ar.icles  uf  export  aru  lumber,  codfi«'i,  salmon,  and  herring.  The  principal 
ports  are  St.  John,  St.  A.ndrew,  Mirpmichi,  and  the  West  k^es.  The  province 
is  divided  into  8  counties.  Frederictou  is  the  capital.  St.  John  is  the  largest 
town.     Population  80,000. 

New  Brunswick  and  Novn  Scotia,  in  most  particulars,  are  very  similar. 
The  face  of  the  country  is  neither  mountainoua,  por  quite  level.  There  are 
several  rivers,  among  which  those  of  Annapolis  and  St.  Johns  are  the  most 
considerable.  Thi  soil  is,  in  general!,  thin  and  barren,  pailiculavly  on  the  coasts. 
In  some  parts  there  are  very  extensive  tracts  of  marsh,  which  are  rich  and 
productive.  Both  the  soil  and  (h^  climate  aif>  unfavorable  to  the  cultivation  of 
grain,  and  the  inhabitants  do  not  raise  provision  sufficient  for  their  own  con- 
isumption.  The  fisheries,  however,  compensate  in  some  measurj  for  the 
sterility  of  the  soil.  The  coast  abounds  with  cod,  salmon,  mackerel,  haddock, 
and  herring.  Their  chief  exports  are  fish  and  lum^«r.  Coal  is  found  in  Nova 
Scotia;  and  plaster-of-i'oris,  particularly  at  Windsor,  from  whence  largo  quan- 
tities are  imported  into  the  United  States. 


NOVA  SCOTIA. 

Nova  Scotia  is  a  large  peninsula,  about  300  miles  long,  and  is  separated 
from  New  Brunswick,  in  part,  by  the  Bay  of  Fundy. 

The  Bay  of  Fundy  is  remarkable  for  its  tides,  which  rise  to  the  height  of  30, 
and  sometimes,  in  the  narrowest  part,  even  to  60  feet.  The  rise  is  so  rapid 
that  cattle  feeding  on  the  shore  aure  often  overtaken  and  drowned. 

The  chief  towns  are  Halifax  and  Annapolis.     Population  130,000. 

It  extends  from  Cape  Sable,  its  most  southern  point,  in  lat.  43°  23'  to  49'' 
30'  N.,  and  from  60"^  16'  to  67°  W.  long. 


:<fEW  BMTAIN. 

Thb  country  Ivinpf  round  .  ludson's  bay,  or  the  country  of  the  Esquimaux, 
comprehending  Labr&dor,  Njw  North  and  South  Wales,  has  obtained  the 
general  name  of  New  Britain,  and  is  attached  to  the  government  of  Lower 
Canada. 

That  part  called  Iiabrador  is  full  of  frightful  mountains,  many  of  which  are 
of  a  stupendous  height  The  valleys  present  numerous  lakes,  and  produce 
only  a  few  stunted  trees.  In  the  puallel  of  60°  north  latitude,  all  vegetation 
ccaies.  Such  is  tho  intensenesn  of  the  cold  in  the  winter,  that  bramdy  and  even 
quicksilver  freezes  into  a  solid  mass;  rocks  often,  burst  ^ith  a  tz-emendous 
noise,  equal  to  that  of  ihe  heaviest  artillery.  At  Nain,  Okkak,  and  Hopedale, 
the  Moravian  missionaries  have  settlements. 


188  OHEENLAND. 

In  New  North  and  South  Wales  the  face  of  the  country  has  not  quite  the 
same  aspect  of  unconquerable  sterility  as  that  of  Labrador,  and  the  climate, 
although  in  the  same  parallel  of  latitude,  is  a  little  less  rigorous.  But  it  is  only 


INDIAN  VILLAGE. 


the  coasts  of  these  immense  regions  that  are  known,  the  interior  having  never 
yet  been  explored.  The  natives  are  called  Esquimaux.  Some  factories  and 
forts  for  the  purpose  of  carrying  on  the  fur  trade  with  the  Indians,  are  estab- 
lished by  the  Hu<i:  on'ij  Bay  and  North-west  companies. 

The  trade  of  the  former  is  confined  to  the  neighborhood  of  Hudson's  bay ; 
that  of  the  latter  extends  from  lake  Winnipeg  to  Uio  Rocky  mountains  and  the 
Frozen  Ocean.  The  North-west  company  is  composed  of  Montreal  merchants. 
The  usual  mode  of  travelling  in  this  country  is  in  birch  bark  canoes.  With 
these  the  inhabitants  pass  up  and  down  the  rivers  and  lakes,  and  when  they 
meet  with  a  rapid,  or  wish  to  pass  from  one  river  to  another,  they  get  out  of 
the  canoe  and  carry  it  on  their  shoulders.  In  this  way,  the  men  eujaged  in 
the  fur  trade  trevei  thousands  of  miles,  and  carry  all  tlieir  goods. 

The  principal  rivers  are  the  Mackenzie,  Nelson,  Saskashawan,  Severn,  and 
Albany. 

The  largest  lakes  are  Winnepeg,  Athapeskow,  Slave  Lake,  and  Great  Bear

Grkenland,  a  country,  bounded  E.  by  the  Atlantic,  and  separated  from 
Labrador  on  the  south-wost  by  Davis'  strtits.  It  is  not  ascertained  whether  it 
is  <i  jx^nin-sula  or  an  island,  although  the  recent  discoveries  in  the  Polar  regions

render  it  highly  probable  that  it  is  wholly  detached  from  the  continent.  It  ex- 
tends as  far  south  as  Cape  Farewell,  in  lat.  S0°  30'  N.  Its  northern  limits  are 
unknown.  The  eastern  coast  is  commonly  called  East  Greenland,  and  the 
western,  West  Greenland,  but  the  whale  fishers  call  the  whole  West  Green- 
land, and  apply  the  name  East  Greenland  to  Spitzbergen  ond  the  adjacent 
(8lands.  Nothing  is  known  of  this  extensive  country,  but  its  coast.  The  in- 
terior is  wholly  inaccessible,  on  account  of  the  everlasting  ice  with  which  its 
mountains  are  covered.  The  eastern  coast  also  has,  for  centuries,  been  cut  off 
from  F^uropcan  intercourse,  by  the  vast  bodies  of  ice  with  which  its  shores  are 
lined.  The  severity  of  the  climate  forbids  the  growth  of  every  thing  but  a  few 
stinted  trees  and  slirubs.  The  whole  population  does  not  exceed  20,000 ;  and 
they  are  confined  to  tho  coast,  deriving  a  miserable  subsistence  from  seals, 
birds,  and  fishes ;  and  are  sometimes  under  the  necessity  of  living  on  sea-weed 
and  train  oil.  The  natives  were  formerly  Pagans,  and  addicted  to  some  cruel 
customs,  but  thi-ough  the  instrumentality  of  the  Moravian  missionaries,  they 
have,  to  a  considerable  extent,  been  converted  to  Christianity. 

Icy  Peak,  an  enormous  mass  of  ice,  rises  near  the  mouth  of  a  soii  >nd 
river,  and  diffuses  such  a  brilliancy  through  the  air,  that  it  is  seen  at  «>"'"'/• 
the  distance  of  more  than  80  miles.  The  country  along  the  sea  shore  presents 
rugged  masses  of  rock  interspersed  with  huge  blocks  of  ice,  indicatine  the 
conflict  of  chaos  and  winter.  The  interior  is  covered  with  a  chain  of  mnu- 
merable  mountains,  most  of  which  are  unexplored.  Coal  and  various  minerals 
and  useful  and  beautiful  fossils  have  been  discovered  here. 

Smoke  is  frequently  observed  arising  from  the  crevices  of  marine  ice.  The 
rare  occurrence  of  rain,  the  small  quantity  of  snow,  and  the  intense  degree  of  cold 
produced  by  the  north-east  wind,  lead  us  to  suppose  that  the  north-east  parts 
of  Greenland  constitute  a  great  Archipelago,  encumbered  with  perp<>tual  ice 
which  for  many  centuries  has  been  piled  together  by  the  winds  and  currents. 

Hares,  reindeer,  white  bears,  foxes,  and  laige  dogs,  that  howl  in. 
stead  of  barking,  and  are  employed  by  the  Greenlanders  in  drawing 
their  sledges,  comprise  the  animals  of  this  country.  Immense  flocks  of  sea 
fowl  frequent  the  rivers  and  shores.  The  rivers  abound  in  salmon  end  the  seas 
in  turbots  and  herrings.  It  is  a  curious  fact,  that  those  animals,  whose  blood 
is  of  the  temperature  of  the  sea,  are  found  in  greatest  numbers  under  these  icy 
fields  and  mountams.  The  inluibitants  of  North  Greenland  pursue  the  whale 
— and  those  of  8outh  Greenlai^i  the  seal.  The  flesh  of  the  animals  is  their 
chief  food.  The  skins  of  the  seats  aerv6  them  for  clothing,  and  as  the  mate- 
rial for  their  boats.  Their  tendons  are  used  for  thread,  their  bladders  as 
bottlec,  <boir  fnt  sometimes  as  butter,  and  at  other  times  as  tallow,  and  their 
blood  .     lusia  "^  by  the  Greenlander  tbe  richest  broth. 

The  exports  are  in  value  from  60  to  100,000  rix<doUars.

BERMUDAS,  or  Smtri'  blandt,  a  chister 
of  small  islands  in  the  Atlantic  Ocean,  in  num- 
ber about  400,  but  for  the  most  part  so  small 
and  barren,  that  they  have  neither  inhabitants 
nor  name.  200  leagues  distant  fVom  Cape 
Hatteros  in  N.  Carolin/i,  which  last  is  the 
nearest  land  to  them.  They  extend  fVom  NE. 
to  SW.  about  45  m.  Their  whole  coast  is  Iror- 
rounded  with  rocks.  The  N.  point  of  the 
islands  lies  in  lat  32°  34'  N. ;  Ion.  63°  28*  W. 
The  largest  of  these  islands  are  St.  George, 
which  is  4  or  5  m.  loiu;  and  2  broad ;  St  Da. 
vid.  Cooper,  Ireland,  Somerset,  Lone  Island, 
Bird  Island,  and  Nonesuch.  On  the  first  there 
is  a  town,  containing  about  300  houses.  The 
winter  is  hardly  perceptible  here.  TliO  fields 
and  trees  are  clad  in  perpetual  green,  and  so 
salubrious  is  the  air,  that  Invalids  ftoquently 
come  hither  for  the  recovery  of  their  health. 
Hie  Bermudas  contain  fitMn  10,000  to  12,000 
acres  of  poor  land,  of  which  nine  parts  in  ten 
are  either  uncultivated,  or  rescrveid  in  woods 
for  the  supplyinff  of  timber  for  building  small 
riiipe,  slotqM,  and  shallops  for  sale ;  this  being 
the  principal  emplovment  of  the  inhabitants. 
Pop.  estinwted  at  10,381 ;  5,462  of  whom  are 
whites,  and  4,919  are  blacks.  They  have  two^ 
harvests  of  Indian  com  in  the  year,  one  in 
July,  the  other  in  December,  lliey  likewise 
cultivate  tobacco,  kgames,  and  fimit  sufficient 
for  their  wante.

Boston  waa  founded  in  the  year  1630.  In 
the  Indian  language  its  name  waa  ^aumut, 
and  it  was  call^  by  the  early  aetilers  Tremont, 
or  Trimontain,  from  the  circumstance  of  its 
bemg  built  upon  three  hills. 

It  is  situat^  at  the  head  of  Massachnsetta 
bay,  on  a  peninsula  about  4  miles  in  circum- 
ference, and  is  about  3  m.  in  length,  and  1  m. 
and  25  rods,  where  widest,  in  breadth,  and  ia 
connected  with  the  main  land  at  S.  end  by  a 
narrow  isthmus,  called  the  Neck,  leading  to 
Roxbury.  The  town  '.,  built  in  an  irregular 
circular  form  round  the  harbor,  which  is  stud- 
ded with  about  40  email  ialands,  many  of  which 
aSbrd  excellent  pasture ;  and  a'e  frequented  in 
summer  by  numerous  parties  of  pleasure.  The 
harbor  is  formed  by  Nahant  Point  on  the  N. 
ana  Point  Alderton  on  the  S.  and  is  ao  eapa. 
cioos  as  to  allow  500  vessels  to  ride  at  anchor 
in  a  good  depth  of  water,  while  the  entrance  is 
so  narrow  aa  acarcely  to  admit  S  ahips  ahreaat 
The  entrance  ia  defended  by  Fort  Independ- 
ence bcfenging  to  the  U.  S.  on  Castle  Island, 


and  by  Fort  Warren  on  Governor's  Island. 
There  is  another  fort,  called  Fort  Strong,  on 
Noddle's  Island. 

Boston  is  admfa«bly  weH  situated  for  cook 
merce,  and  ia  a  place  of  great  trade  and  opu- 
lence. It  is  the  fourth  city  in  the  Union  in 
population  and  second  in  commerce.  Ita  trade 
us  carried  on  with  every  quarter  of  the  world. 
Its  wealth  is  computed  at  93,000,000  doUars. 

The  ^i^nng  of  the  pmt  amounted  in  1828 
to  161,583  tons.  The  wharves  here  are  said 
to  be  ^e  foieat  in  the  U.  S.  aome  of  whkh  are 
nearly  a  quarter  of  a  mile  in  length  and  cov- 
ered with  stores.  The  yearly  linporta  are 
13,000,000  dollars  and  the  experts  9,000,000. 

Alterationa  and  addititms  have  of  late  years 

Cly  improved  the  appearance  of  Boston, 
streets,  which  were  formerly  almost  with- 
out an  exception  narrow  and  crooked,  have 
been  in  a  great  degree  rendered  wide  and  com- 
modious; die  old  wtoden  striictures  have  in 
the  greater  part  of  the  city  been  replaced  by 
handsome  buildings  of  stone  or  brick.  In  the 
western  part,  parucularly,  there  is  mnoh  neat- 
ness and  elegance.  The  splendor  of  the  pri- 
vate Vuildinga  here,  b  not  equalled  in  any 
other  part  of  the  Union. 

The  literary  institutions  of  this  oi^  are  of 
the  first  order.  The  public  lifanriea  oontain 
70,000  volumes.  The  Baatan  Athenauin  ia  tiia

It  of  its  kind  in  theU.a 


its  library  contains  above  35,000  volumes,  and 
a  reading  room,  in  which  the  most  esteemed 
periodicals,  from  all  ports  of  the  world,  may 
be  found.  If  we  add  to  these  the  library  of 
Hai  vard  CoUe^,  in  the  neighborhood,  of  40,000 
voli'mes,  makmg  the  number  of  books  within 
the  reach  of  the  citizens  110,000,  it  must  be 
allowed  that  Boston  offers  to  the  scholar  a 
more  advantageous  residence  than  any  otlier 
spot  in  the  western  world.  The  literary  char- 
acter of  the  citizens  corresponds  to  these  ad- 
vantages ;  Boston  is  distinguished  for  the  num- 
ber and  talent  of  its  periodical  works:  the 
North  American  Review,  which  is  allowed  to 
be  the  most  able  of  all  the  literary  journals  of 
our  country,  and  the  only  one  that  lias  gained 
a  reputation  in  Europe,  is  published  here.  The 
Christian  Ejuminer,  which  has  now  enlarged 
its  plan,  and  assumed  more  of  a  purely  literary 
character,  is  ranked  among  the  first  publica- 
tions of  the  day.  The  periodicals  of  tlie  city 
are  more  than  60,  including  31  newspapers,  7 
of  which  are  doily.  The  public  schools  arc 
not  equalled  in  any  other  city  in  the  world 
Tlie  ambition  of  the  scholars  is  eicited  by  an- 
nual rewards  to  the  most  worthy,  in  the  shape 
r«f  a  public  dinner  at  Faneuil  Hall  in  company 
with  the  mayor  and  officers  of  the  city;  and 
the  distribution  of  gold  and  silver  medals,  the 
product  of  a  fund  for  this  purpose  established 
by  the  great  FrankUn,  who  was  bom  in  this 
city.  In  the  department  of  the  fine  arts,  there 
is  much  taste  and  lilieral  patronage  displayed 
here.  Tlie  annual  exhibitions  of  paintings  in 
the  gallery  of  the  Athenieum  is  the  best  in  the 
country,  and  a  flmd  is  collecting  from  it"  pro- 
ceed'' for  the  encouragement  of  the  arts. 

In  1^17,  there  Was  erected  on  both  sides  of 
Market  street  a  block  of  stores,  485  foet  in 
length  on  one  side,  and  443  on  tlie  other,  and 
4  stories  high ;  and  on  Central  wharf,  another 
immense  vile  of  buildingn  was  completed  the 
same  year,  1,340  feet  in  Icngxli,  containing  54 
stores  4  stories  high,  and  having  a  spacious 
hall  in  the  centre,  over  which  is  erected  on  el- 
u^ant  observatory.  These  buildings,  for  extent, 
sonveniencc,  and  elrgance,  are  suid  not  to  be 
exceeded  in  the  oommurciol  world.  The  ex- 
change is  a  superb  structurt ,  7  stories  in  height, 
137  foet  in  length,  containiig  303  rooms.  In 
this  building  u  kept  a  pubBc  reading  room, 
similar  to  the  one  at  Merchants'  hall.  The 
nlms-house  is  a  commodious  and  elegant  build- 
ing, 270  feet  long,  and  56  broad.  The  new 
court-house  is  very  elegant,  built  of  Chelms- 
fore  granite.  The  state-house  is  built  on  ground 
elevated  about  100  feet  above  the  level  of  the 
harbor,  and  is  a  noble  edifice.  It  is  173  feet 
in  front,  and  61  deepv  and  its  situation  and  size 
render  it  a  very  cons|ucuous  object  The  dome 
is  50  fbet  in  diameter,  terminated  by  adrcular 
lantern,  at  an  elevation  of  100  fiMt  fttan  the 
foundation.  The  prospect  from  the  top  is  ex- 
ceedingly magnifioent  and  beantL^;  surpass- 
ing  every  thing  of  tho  kind  in  this  countrr, 
ond  will  bear  a  comparison  with  the  castle  hill 
of  Edinburgh,  the  &inous  bay  of  NafJes,  or  any 
otherof  tho  most  picturesque  soenea  in  Ekuope. 
Here  may  bo  seen  at  a  view,  the  town  with  its 
SA 


shipping  and  buildings,  the  harbor  and  its 
islands,  Charles  river,  a  fine  country,  oma> 
mented  with  elegant  oountry-scats,  and  more 
than  30  flourisliiiig  towns.  In  fh>nt  of  the 
stute-house  is  the  common,  containing  44  acres, 
surrounded  by  the  mall,  an  extensive  and  most 
dehKhtfU  public  walk. 

The  facilities  for  <  .-avelling  m  the  neighbor- 
hood of  Boston  ar(  very  great  There  are 
more  stage-coaches  running  to  and  from  this 
city  than  any  other  in  America.  Qourly  and 
half-hourly  stages  carry  passengers  to  the 
neighboring  towns  at  a  very  fow  rate.  The 
number  of^  daily  arrivals  and  departures  is 
about  3.50.  In  summer  there  ore  steam-boats 
nmning  to  Hinghom,  Naliant  and  the  coast  of 
Maine.  The  roods  about  Boston  are  excellent, 
and  I  be  public  houses  of  the  first  order.  The 
countvy  here  is  exceedingly  varied  and  pictur- 
esque, tdorncd  with  every  graceful  variety  of 
hill  and  dale,  garden  and  grove,  and  abound- 
ing in  beautiful  villages  and  elegant  co"itry. 
seats.  The  heights  of  Dorchester,  which  com- 
mand the  city  and  harbor,  and  whose  batteries 
drove  tlie  British  fh>m  Boston  in  1776,  are 
now  witliin  the  limits  of  the  city. 

A  city  government  was  first  adopted  in  1821 ; 
the  officers  are  a  mayor,  8  aldermen,  and  a 
common  council  of  48,  all  elected  by  a  popu- 
lar vote  in  December  annually.  With  ChelMa, 
on  the  opposite  side  of  the  harbor,  Boston  com- 
poses the  county  of  Suffolk,  which  has  6  sena- 
tors in  the  state  legislature.  The  city  alone 
sends  one  representative  to  congress.  The 
yearly  expenses  are  -^bout  300,000  dollars,  of 
which  above  50,000  are  ai^ropriated  to  the 
support  of  common  schools;  80,000  for  im- 
proving the  streets,  and  30,000  for  the  poor. 

The  census  of  1830  gave  a  r(,>turn  of  61,392 
inhabitants  for  the  13  wards  within  the  juris- 
diction of  the  city,  but  taking  in  those  adjoin- 
ing parts  of  Chnrlestown,  Cambridge  and  Itox- 
bury,  which  are,  to  all  practical  purposes,  so 
many  portions  of  tlie  ca|Mtal,  its  whole  popu- 
lation will  amount  to  about  80,000,  The  atj 
proper  has  40  churc'ies,  19  banks,  2  theatres, 
80  public  schools,  arid  50  bookstores.  Boston 
contains  135  streets,  31  lanes,  and  80  wharves.

two  parishes,  but  the  second  parish  now  oon 
stitutes  a  distinct  town  called  North  Brook- 
field.  Thi!i  town  was  settled  at  an  early  pe- 
riod, and  during  Philip's  vi-ar  in  1675,  was  at- 
tacked by  tlie  Indians.  The  inhabitants  col> 
lected  in  one  house,  which  was  immediately 
besieged  by  the  savages,  who  set  fire  instantly 
to  every  oUicr  building  in  tlie  town.  For  two 
days  and  nights  the  Indians  poured  in  shot 
U|)on  the  people  in  the  bouse  incessantly,  but 
were  met  by  a  most  determined  defence  on 
the  part  of  the  besieged.  They  then  attempt, 
ed  to  fire  the  house  by  flaming  torches,  at  tne 
ends  of  long  poles;  but  the  garrison  contin- 
ued to  defend  themselves  by  firing  fVom  the 
windows  and  throwing  water  upon  the  £  jmea. 
as  they  fortunately  had  a  pump  within  tlw 
house.  Theso  attempts  failing,  the  Indiana 
then  prepared  a  cart  loaded  with  flax,  hemp. 
and  other  combustible  matters,  and,  under 
cover  of  a  barricade  of  boards,  thrust  tlie 
burning  mass  by  the  means  of  long  timbers 
against  the  house.  In  this  movement  one  of 
the  wheels  came  oflT,  which  turned  the  nuu 
chine  aside  and  exposed  the  Indian*  to  the 
fire  of  the  garrison ;  a  shower  of  rain  coming 
on  at  the  same  time,  extinguished  tlie  flame*. 
Shortly  afterwards  a  reinforoement  of  fbrty 
men  arrived  from  Boston,  fhroed  their  way 
tliroagfa  tlie  enemy  and  joined  the  ymrriaon. 
The  Indians  then  abandoned  the  auge  and 
retired,  having  snflbred  a  hoavy  loss.

The  growth  of  Cincinnati  has  been  rapid, 
almost  without  a  parallel.  In  1800,  the  popu- 
lation was  500;  m  1810,  9,540;  m  1815,  tt 
was  estimated  at  6,500 ;  in  1830,  it  was  9,643, 
and  in  1830,  it  was  36,515.  Ita  position  is  a 
beautifbl  vale,  twelve  miles  in  circumArenoe 
created  bv  an  eliptical  sweep  of  Ohio  hills. 
Such  of  these  eminences  as  have  not  been  laid 
bare  by  the  unsparing  hand  of  progressive  im- 
provement, are  beautilbllv  wooded  to  their 
summits ;  and,  by  the  swell  and  indentation  of 
their  waving  outline,  present  to  the  view  of  the 
beholder  the  most  graccfU  and  charming  fbrms. 
F^om  the  summit  of  any  of  these  hdla,  the 
town  is  distinctly  presented  to  the  eye,  and 
spreads  a  panoramic  map  of  exquisite  beauty 
and  variety.  Cincinnati  is  the  most  flourish- 
ing commercial  town  in  the  west,  except  New 
Orleans ;  and  furnishes  perhi^N  the  moat  sig- 
nal example  of  that  spirit  and  capacity  ffar  im- 
provement, which  result  from  the  exiatenoe  of 
fl«e  institutions,  and  are  destined  to  611  the  Mis- 
sissippi valley  with  a  teeming  popolatian.  Seven 
of  the  streets  are  66  feet  wide,  and  396  apart,  in- 
tersected by  streets  of  the  same  widtii  and  dis- 
tanoe  at  right  tnfjltta.  On*  Mrtir*  s^oare,  and

most  showy  quarters  are  Main,  Broadway,  aiid 
Fonrth-street,  westward  from  ite  intersecticA

the  cumbering  of  the  streets  with  timber,  stans, 
bricks,  and  mortar,  and  the  inoonvenienea  of

passage,  aa  well  as  the  entrance  into  the  gulfk 
of  Mexico  and  Florida,  and  is  called  with  rea- 
son the  key  of  the  West  Indies.  It  is  700  m 
in  lengtlv,  and  on  a  medium  70  in  breadth.  It 
is  equal  in  sixe  to  Great  Britain.  Its  impula- 
tion  has  been  rated  at  750,000,  but  there  is 
reason  to  believe  tliat  it  exceeds  tha>.  number. 
A  small  belt  of  the  island  only  has  yet  been 
cultivated.  A  chain  of  mountains,  not  very 
loHy,  (wtends  tluvugh  the  whole  island.  The 
soil  is  exceedingly  fhrtilo;  tiic  climate  morn

and  Cuba  in  justly  considered  the  healthiest 
and  most  thutibl  settlement  in  the  Antilles. 
It  is,  probably,  the  richest  island,  all  tliiuM 
considered,  in  the  world.  Gold  was  fbrmerlv 
found  in  tho  island,  and  roppcr  and  iron  abound. 
It  ia  fiuoed,  also,  for  mineral  waters,  and  salt 
springs.  Its  chief  wealth  is  derived  from  its 
extensive  sugar  plantitions.  Cotfee  is  its  next 
most  important  product  Its  tobacco  is  the 
best  in  the  world.  It  abounds  in  trees,  among 
which  arc  many  fitted  for  ship-timber.  Ucen 
have  multiplied  to  a  groat  extent  Cattle,  as 
in  New.  Spain,  have  booome  wild  in  the  woodf, 
and  are  killed  for  their  hides  and  tallow.  Tho 
people  are  active  and  enterprising,  and  tlio 
revenue,  formerly  reckoned  at  3,000,000  of 
piaatros,  is  now  much  more  than  double  that

dangerous  on  elevated,  than  marshy  districts. 
The  temperate  zone  of  tho  Antilles  commences 
at  1,400  feet  above  the  level  of  the  sea.  Tho 
mountains  at  an  elevation  of  4000  feet  are 
subject  to  mists  and  rains.  Most  of  the  wild 
aiii.iials  indigenous  to  this  climate  are  of  a 
smaller  size.  The  scorpion  is  found  only  in 
tlie  large  islands.  Negroes  are  sometimes  ex- 
posed to  the  murderous  bjte  of  tho  cayman  or 
rrocodile.  Parrots  of  various  species  glitter 
in  the  woods,  and  innumerable  aquatic  birds 
congregate  on  the  shores.  Humming  birds, 
dartmg  along  the  bright  flowers,  vie  m  their 
plumage  wiUi  the  flowers,  the  emerald  and 
ruby.  All  the  tropical  plants,  shrubs  and  trees 
are  natives  of  this  climate.  A  canoe  made 
ftom  a  single  trunk  of  a  cotton  tree,  has  been 
known  to  contain  a  hundred  pciaons ;  and  *he 


leaf  of  one  gpcciis  of  palm  will  shade  five  or 
NIX  men.  The  putnietto,  or  mountain  cabbage 
tree,  grows  3U0  feet  high,  and  its  verdant  sum- 
mit trembles  fi'om  ti.e  slightest  breeze.  ,  A 
splendid  variety  of  tlie  noblest  trees  graces  the 
plantations.  licmon,  orange  and  pomegranate 
trees  pcrfimic  tho  air  with  tho  aroma  of  their 
flowers ;  while  their  branches  are  loaded  with 
fyuit.  llie  apple,  poac'i  and  grape  ripen  in 
tho  mountains.  The  date,  sapota,  sapotiUa, 
mammee,  rose  apple,  mango,  different  species 
of  spondias  and  annonas,  and  most  of  the  ori- 
ental tropical  fruits  ripen  on  the  sultry  plains. 
We  should  not  liavo  space  to  enumerate  the 
splendid  varieties  of  flowering  shrubs,  ouuntias, 
tliistloH,  and  lianes.  The  polypodium  arboroum, 
at  a  distance,  might  bo  mistaken  for  tlie  palm 
tree,  on  account  of  its  bfty  trunk,  and  the 
broad  leaves  on  its  summit,  Lignum  vitas, 
wintcra-canela,  cinohona  caribea,  wild  vanilla, 
aloes,  amatto,  and  pimento  are  all  cither  indi- 
genous, 01  cultivated  here.  The  igname  and 
potato,  manioc  and  ang(da  peas  are  the  food 
of  the  negroes.  Sugar  cane  of  the  various 
species  is  the  well  known  and  most  abundant 
production  of  these  islands.  No  conflagration 
IS  more  rapid  or  alarming  than  a  fire  in  a  dry 
cane  fiek),  which  fi<equently  occurs.  Two  va- 
rieties of  the  cotton,  the  gr^n  seed  and  the 
Mnall  seed,  are  the  most  common  kinds  culti- 
vated. Tho  coffee  of  the  country  is  a  native 
of  Arabia  Felix.  It  seldom  bears  before  the 
third  season ;  sometimes  not  till  tlie  sixth.  It 
never  lasts  more  than  30  years,  and  iVequently 
decays  before  tliat  time.  A  single  plant  pn^ 
ducea  from  one  to  four  pounds.

pils of  which  arc  professedly  guided  in  their 
whole  discipline,  witli  reference  to  the  physical, 
organic,  and  moral  laws  of  our  being.  The 
Female  Academy,  under  tho  care  of  Rev.  Mr 
Woods,  is  in  high  repute,  and  has  100  pupils. 
I'herc  are  various  otiier  Hehiiols  which  concur 
with  tlicso  to  vindicate  tlio  high  literary  esti- 
I  niation  of  this  city.  Ths  other  public  edifices 
i  arc  OS  follow :  a  handsome  and  spacious  court 
,lious<!,  a  large  Masonic  hall,  and  11  churc^hcs, 
I  in  which  several  dcnoniiTiations  of  (^hristionity 
I  are  represented.  The  State  Lunatic  Asylum 
is  a  Npneious  and  very  commodious  building, 
containing,  on  an  average,  90  deranged  pa- 
tients, under  the  guidance  and  efficient  care  of 
physicians,  surgeons,  and  nurses.  Tho  U.  S. 
Branch  Bonk  has  a  largo  bankmg-house,  in 
which  husincBS  in  the  way  of  discount  and 
negotiation  of  bills,  is  annually  transacted  to 
the  amount  of  91,700,000.  The  chief  manu- 
factures are  those  of  cotton-bagging,  and  vari. 
oils  kinds  of  cordage,  particularly  bale  rope. 
Of  the  former  were  manufactured  in  1830, 
1,000.000  yards;  and  of  the  latter  2,000,000 
IMunde.  There  are  three  factories  for  spin- 
ninir  and  weaving  wool,  and  fivo  or  six  for  cot- 
ton ;  and  one  large  and  several  amnller  ma- 
chine-making iictories.  In  the  woollen  factoriea 
are  manufactured  handsome  carpets.  The 
town  buildings  in  general  arc  handsome,  and 
some  are  magnificent.  Few  towns  in  tli« 
West,  or  cbewhero,  are  morq  delightfully  situ- 
ated. Its  environs  have  «  singular  soilness 
and  amenity  of  landscape,  and  the  town  wear* 
an  air  of  neatness,  opulence,  and  lepoaft,  indi 
eating  leisure  and  studiousness,  rather  thau 
the  bustk)  of  business  and  commerce.  It  is 
situated  in  the  centre  of  a  proverbially  rich 
and  beautiful  country.  The  frequency  of  hand- 
some villas  and  omamck.tod  rural  mansions, 
imparts  the  impression  of  vicinity  to  an  opu- 
lent metropolis.  A  beautifi'l  branch  of  the 
ESkhom  runs  through  the  city,  and  supplies  it 
with  water.  The  main  street  is  a  mile  and  a 
quarter  in  length,  and  80  feet  wide ;  well 
paved,  and  the  principol  roads  leading  from  it 
to  tlie  country  are  M'Adamized  to  some  'dis- 
tance. In  tlie  centre  of  the  town  is  the  public 
square,  surrounded  by  handsome  building's.  In 
this  square  is  the  market-house,  which  is  am.° 
ipplied  with  all  the  producte  of  the  state,

point  of  its  origin,  would  give  it  to  be  in  lat. 
47°  47'  N.  though  in  speaking  of  the  source 
of  large  rivers,  which  are  formed  of  a  great 
number  of  tributaries,  it  is  not  often  possible 
to  say,  precisely,  which  particular  branch  car- 
ries the  most  watrr,  or  ought  to  be  called  the 
parent  Htrcam.  It  is  1,600  m.  from  its  source 
to  its  junction  with  the  Missouri,  and  1,310 
ftom  tliat  junction  to  its  moutit  at  the  Gulf  of 
Mexico,  making  its  whole  length  2,910  m.  Its 
general  course  ts  wutli.  Its  most  important 
branehcs,  bc^rinning  at  its  mouth,  arc  the 
Red  river,  the  Arkansas,  and  the  Missouri,  on 
the  west,  tho  latter  of  which  is,  by  far,  the 
greatest  tributary  which  it  receives.  Its  two 
principal  branches  on  tho  cast,  are  the  Ohio 
and  the  Illinois.  Ships  rarely  ascend  Uio  Mis- 
sissippi higher  than  Natchez,  which  is  322  m. 
by  the  river,  above  New  Orleans,  but  it  is  navi- 
gated by  steam-boats  to  the  Falls  of  St  An- 
thony, a  distance  of  more  than  2,000  m.  from 
its  mouth.  Down  these  falls,  the  river,  which 
is  here  about  half  a  mile  wide,  precipitates  its 
waters  in  a  |>crpendicular  descent  of  sixteen 
or  seventeen  feet  For  a  long  distance  below 
these  falls,  it  is  a  clear,  placid,  and  beautiful 
litream,  with  wide  and  fertile  bottoms.  Its 
medial  current  is  not  more  than  2  m.  an  hour 
from  the  fulls  to  tiie  mouth  of  tlie  Missouri,  ex- 
cept at  tlio  rapids,  a  few  miles  below  the  mouth 
of  the  river  Des  Moines,  which  arc  about  9  m. 
in  length,  and  r/e  a  considerable  impediment 
to  the  navigation  during  a  part  of  the  summer. 
Whei-e  it  receives  the  Missouri,  it  is  a  mile 
and  a  half  wide.  The  Missouri  itself  enters 
with  a  mouth  not  more  than  half  a  mile  wide. 
Tho  united  stream  below,  has  thence,  to  the 
mouth  of  the  Ohio,  a  medial  width  of  little 
more  than  tliree  quarters  of  a  mile.  This 
mighty  tributary  seems  rather  to  diminish  than 
increase  its  widtJi ;  but  it  perceptibly  alters  its 
depth,  its  mass  of  waters,  and,  what  is  to  be

tender  alluvial  soil  of  the  bends,  with  oil  their 

trees,  and  deposits  the  qnila  in  another  pttoe. 

At  tho  season  of  high  waters,  nothing  is  nKNte 

familiar  to  the  ear  of  the  people  on  the  river, 

than  the  deep  crash  of  a  land-dip,  in  which 

larger  or  smaller  masses  of  the  soil  on  the 

banks,  with  all  tho  trees,  ore  plunged  into  the 


stream.  Tho  circiuiiHtnnccn  that  change  the 
as^icct  and  current  of  tlie  river,  are  denniiii- 
nated,  in  the  vocubulnry  of  the  watermen, 
chutes,  races,  chains,  sawyers,  planters,  points 
of  islands,  wreck-heaps,  and  cypress-bends.  It 
occurs  more  than  once,  that  in  moving  round 
a  curve  of  twenty-five  or  tliirty  miles,  you  will 
return  so  near  the  point  whence  you  started, 
that  you  can  return  back  to  that  pomt,  by  land, 
in  less  than  a  mile.  There  are,  at  present, 
bends  of  this  sort  on  the  Missouri  and  the  Mis-  ' 
siHsippi,  |)articularly  at  Timica  bend,  where 
yau  move  round  a  curve  of  tliirty  miles,  and 
come  back  to  the  point,  where  you  ace  through 
tho  trees,  and  at  the  distance  of  three  quarters 
of  a  mile,  tho  point  whence  you  departed.  Tho 
divinity  most  frequently  invoked  by  boatmen, 
seems  to  have  im|>artcd  his  name  oftcncr  than 
any  other  to  tlie  dangerous  places  along  the 
river.  The  "devil's"  race-paths,  tea-tablr, 
oven,  &c.  are  places  of  difficult  or  hazardouit 
navigation,  that  frequently  occur.  They  are 
serious  impediments  to  tlio  navigation  of  this 
noblo  stream.  Such  is  its  character  from  Mis- 
souri to  the  Bolize ;  a  wild,  furious,  whirling 
river — never  navigated  safely,  except  with 
great  caution.  On  the  immense  wreck-heaps, 
where  masses  of  logs,  like  considerable  hills, 
are  piled  together,  the  numerous  wrecks  of 
boats,  lying  on  tlieir  sides  and  suminitji,  suf- 
ficiently attest  tlic  character  of  the  river,  and 
remain  standing  mementoes  to  ciiution.  Bouts 
propelled  by  steam-power,  which  can  be  chang- 
ed in  a  moment,  to  reverse  the  impulse  and 
direction  of  tlic  bout,  arc  exactly  calculated  to 
obviate  tlie  dangers  of  this  river.  No  person 
who  descends  this  river  for  the  first  time,  re- 
ceives clear  and  adequate  ideas  of  its  grandeur, 
and  the  amount  of  water  which  its  carries.  If 
it  be  in  the  spring,  when  the  river  below  the 
mouth  of  the  Ohio  is  generally  over  its  banks, 
although  the  sheet  of  water  that  is  making  its 
way  to  tlie  gulf  is,  perhaps,  thirty  miles  wide, 
yet  finding  its  way  through  deep  forests  and 
swamps  tliat  conceal  all  fit>m  tJie  eye,  no  ex- 
panse of  water  is  seen,  but  the  widtli  that  is 
curved  out  between  the  outline  of  woods  on 
either  liank ;  and  it  seldom  exceeds,  and  oflener 
falls  short  of  a  mile.  But  when  he  sees,  in 
descending  from  the  Foils  of  St  Anthony,  that 
it  swallows  up  one  river  after  anotlier,  with 
mouths  as  wide  as  itself,  without  affecting  its 
width  at  all;  when  he  sees  it  receiving  in 
succession  tlie  mighty  Missouri,  the  broad 
Ohio,  St  Francis,  White,  Arkansas,  and  Red 
all  of  them  of  great  depth,  length,  and 
of  water;  when  he  sees  this  mighty 
.  sorbing  them  all,  and  retaining  a  vol- 
Iffiparentiy  unchanged — he  begins  to  esti- 
llghtly  tho  increased  depths  of  current,

of  the  Ohio,  there  are  lix  feet  in  the  channel 
of  the  ihallowint  places  at  luw-wutor,  and  tliu 
anaual  inundation  may  be  cstimntod  at  twenty 
five  feet.  Between  tlie  mouth  of  the  Oiiio  and 
the  St.  Francia,  there  are  vuriuua  shoal  places, 
where  pilots  are  often  perplexed  to  find  a  suf- 
ficient depth  of  water,  when  the  river  is  low. 
Below  that  point,  Iiere  is  no  difhculty  for  ves- 
mIs  of  any  draught,  except  to  find  the  right 
channel.  Below  the  mouth  of  the  Ohio,  the 
medial  flood  is  fifty  feet;  the  highest,  sixty. 
Above  Natchez,  the  flood  begins  to  decline. 
At  Baton  Rouge,  i*  seldom  exceeds  thirty  feet; 
and  at  New  Orl>  >  ',  twelve.  Some  have  sap- 
poaed  thia  gradual  diminution  of  the  flood  to 
raiult  ftom  th(<  dnining  of  the  numerous 
effluxes  of  thti  .'  iver,  t'.iat  convey  away  such 
oonaiderable  no;  iioti'  A'iia  waters,  by  separate 
channels  to  Uw  %a.  To  this  should  be  added, 
no  doubt,  the  check  which  the  river  at  this 
distance  begins  to  fenl  from  the  ronction  of  the 
aea,  where  this  mighty  mass  of  descending 
waten  finds  its  level.  The  navigation  upon 
this  river  is  very  great.  The  number  of  steam- 
boata  upon  the  Mississippi  and  its  tributaries 
ia  about  300.  Their  size  is  from  640  tona 
downward.  The  passage  from  Cincinnati  to 
New  Orleans  and  back,  has  been  made  in  19 
days.  Frani  New  Orleans  to  Louisville  the 
shortest  passage  has  l)een  8  days  and  2  hours, 
the  distance  being  1,650  m.  and  against  tlie 
current.  The  steam-boats  have  generally 
high-preHure  power,  and  many  fatal  explo- 
aioDS  have  happened  upon  these  waters.  The 
first  ateam-veasel  here  was  built  in  1 8 1 0.  New 
Orleans  is  the  out-port  of  this  river,  and  the 
largest  city  on  its  banks.  Its  waters  pass  into 
the  Gulf  by  several  channels  which  inteisect 
a  flat  inarshy  tract.  The  main  entrance  is  at 
the  Balize.

MISSOURI,  one  of  the  U.  S.  See  p.  146. 

MISSOURI,  the  longest  river  in  N.  Ameri- 
ca, is  formed  uf  three  principal  branches,  the 
Jefferson,  Mridison,  and  Gallatin,  which  rise 
among  the  Rocky  Mountains,  between  42° 
and  48^  N.  lat.  and  unite  at  one  place  in  lat. 
46°  10'  N.  and  Ion.  1 10°  W.  From  thii  con- 
fluence, its  course  is  northerly  about  2b0  m. 
to  the  Great  Falls;  thence  easterly  to  the  Man- 
dan  villages;  thence  it  runs,  first  S.  and  then 
SE.  to  its  junction  wiili  the  Mississippi,  in  Ion. 
90°  W.  and  lat.  38°  61'  N.  Its  whole  length, 
fltMD  its  source  to  the  Mississippi,  is  3,211  m. 
Althotigh  it  loses  its  name  at  its  confluence 
with  the  latter,  it  is  much  the  longer  stri 
of  the  two,  but  tlie  Mississippi  Imvii 

first  discovered  and  explored,  it  lias    , 

ita  name  to  the  Gulf  of  Mexico.  Th)|MlQ|r 
being  now  past  remedy,  the  Missouri  taoirilM 
considered  as  a  tributary  of  the  Jtf  Ma^. 
If  we  add  to  the  Missouri  the  )lH^ftt  of  tM 
Mississippi  below  their  conflnj^f,  we  have  a 
river  4,490  ni.  in  length,  wipb  exceeds  by

MONTREAL,  is!,  in  St  Lawrence  river,  at 
tlic  conHuence  of  that  stream  and  the  Ottawa. 
It  forms  a  county  nf  tho  same  name,  33  in. 
long,  hut  very  irregular  in  width. 

MONTREAL,  city,  L.  C.  It  is  built  upon 
an  island  of  tho  same  name  in  the  8t.  Law- 
rcncn,  33  ni.  long,  and  at  its  centre  3  m.  wide, 
at  a  point  in  the  river  just  below  the  junction  of 
the  Ottawa.  The  river  is  hero  two  miles  wide, 
and  capable  of  being  ascended  by  vessels  of 
any  burden,  nitlinugh  500  mites  from  the  sea. 
It  is  180  mUes  8W.  of  Quebec,  and  300  N.  of 
New  York.  Tho  town  has  a  beautiful  position, 
and  shows  to  great  advantage.  The  mountain, 
from  which  it  has  its  name,  rises  on  the  Icfl 
of  the  city,  and  seems  placed  there,  like  a  ram- 
part, to  defend  it  fVoin  the  blasts  of  winter. 
A  thick  forest  covers  the  greater  part  of  it ; 
tliuugh  a  few  neatly  built  liouscs  show  their 
roofs  from  the  midst  of  tlie  mountain  groves. 
The  new  cathedral  is,  probably,  the  uirgest 
church  in  America.  Its  front  is  25r>  feet,  and 
its  widtli  134.  There  are  five  public  entrances, 
and  the  interior  will  conveniently  contain 
10,000  persons.  There  are  seven  altars,  and 
tlie  eastern  window  over  the  high  altar  is  64 
by  .33  feet  The  circuit  of  tliis  vast  edifice  is 
LIS.')  feet  It  is  built  of  hewn  stone  fVora  the 
mountain.  Tho  college  is  tho  next  most  con- 
spicuous building,  extending  in  fVont  with  the 
wings  830  feet  It  contains  on  an  average  30Q 
stodcnts.  I'his  is  a  Catholic  institution.  Tha|« 
are  18  or  20  public  buildings.  Tho  Frenti^ 
style  of  building,  tho  number  of  lofty  ej/b^ 
and  towers,  and  the  glittering  tin  covcrin)^  m 
the  roofs,  give  the  city  a  majestic  au^^wnoi)* 
ing  apiH>aranco  at  a  distance.  The  mjmmau, 
by  a  census  in  1835,  was  34,000,  mfriB  novr 
supposed  to  amount  to  .'iO-OOO.*  Ti#  c6fef  ar-

NEW  HAVEN,  city,  seaport,  and  cap.  of 
New  Haven  co.  Ct  and  semi-capital  of  the 
state,  stands  at  the  head  of  a  bay  which  opens 
4  m.  into  the  land,  from  Long  Island  Sound. 
It  is  surrounded  by  a  beautiful  and  extensive 
plain,  bounded  on  all  sides,  except  towards  the 
water,  by  lofty  hills,  which  rise  in  some  places 
to  the  height  of  300  or  400  feet.    It  is  laid  out 
witli  great  regularity  and  neatness ;  the  streets 
are  64  feet  in  width,  and  their  intersections 
rectangular.    A  square  in  the  centre  is  laid 
out  as  a  public  ground.    It  is  adorned  with 
rows  of  handsome  sliade  trees  and  spacious 
walks.    On  this  square  stand  the  public  build- 
ings, the  college  edifices,  and  4  churches.    For 
beauty,  there  are  few  squares  in  the  Union  to 
compare  witli  this.     Two  of  the  churches  are 
for  (>}ngrcgationalistfl,  and  are  very  elegant 
structures.     Another  i.<i  for  Episcopalians,  and 
is  a  most  superb  Gothic  edifice  of  stone.     The 
state-house,   which   stands    in   front  of  this 
square,  is  one  of  the  handsomest  buildings  of 
tiio  kind  in  the  United  States.     This  citj  con- 
tains also  a  Methodist  meeting-house,  a  jail,  an 
oJms-house,  a  museum,  an  observatory,  2  banks, 
a  large  gun  factory,  and  manufactories  of  pa- 
per and  cotton.     Yale  Collegt,  at  this  place, 
was  founded  in  1700,  and  ranks  as  the  second 
literary  institution  in  the  Union.     The  ooUege 
library  contains  8,500  volumes,  and  the  stu- 
dents', 9,000.    The  philosophical  and  chemi- 
cal apparatus  is  excellent  and  complete.    The 
fitculty  consists  of  a  president,  10  professors, 
ond  5  tutors.      The   whole   number  of  stu- 
dents  in  1839,  divided  among  the  departments 
of  law,  medicine,  theology,  and  the  academic 
course,  was  49d.    Of  this  number,  the  college

if  confined  within  its  channel  by  an  uKificiul 
bank  called  Me  Uvt',  which  was  raiMct!  ut 
great  cxpento,  and  extends  50  ni.  The  luiid 
W  lo  apongy  that  tlic  iiouses  arc  neccHHarily 
without  cellars.  It  is  very  ndvontajreously  sit- 
uated for  coinmcrce,  tlio  Misbissippi  ond  its 
numeroui  brunches  waflinfif  to  it  the  prodiic- 
tiona  of  a  fertile  country  of  more  than  2,0U0 
milea  in  extent.  It  is  already  one  of  the  most 
important  commercial  ports  in  America,  and 
i»  probably  destined  to  become,  at  no  distant 
penod,  tlie  rival  of  the  first  in  Europe.  The 
harbor  present*  an  area  of  many  acres,  cover- 
ed with  all  the  grotesque  variety  of  flat-boats, 
keel-boata,  and  water  crail  of  ever^  deccrip- 
Uon,  that  have  floated  from  all  ponita  of  the 
valley  above.  Sloojw,  schooners,  brigs,  and 
■hips  occupy  tlie  wharves,  arranged  below  each 
other,  in  tlie  order  of  their  size,  showing  a  for- 
est of  masts.  The  Ibreign  aspect  of  tlie  stuc- 
coed houses  in  the  city  pro|>cr,  the  massive 
buildings  of  the  Fauxbourg  St  Mary,  tlie  bus- 
tle and  movement  on  every  side,  ai!  seen  at  ont 
view  in  the  bright  coloring  of  the  brilliant  sun 
and  sky  of  the  climate,  present  a  splendid  spec- 
tacle. There  have  been  counted  in  tlie  harbor, 
1,500  flat-boats  at  a  time.  Steam-boats  are 
coming  and  departing  every  hour ;  and  50  are 
tW.quently  seen  lying  in  the  harbor  at  a  time. 
There  are  often  5  or  6,000  boatmen  from  the 
upper  country  here ;  and  it  is  not  uncc..  .non 
to  see  40  vessels  advertised  for  Liverpool  and 
Havi«.  No  place  in  the  United  States  has  so 
much  activity  and  bustle  of  commerce,  crowd- 
ed into  w  small  a  ^ptt.''e,  in  the  months  of  Feb- 
ruary and  March.  During  the  season  of  brin^- 
mg  m  the  cotton  crop,  whcio  streets  are  barri- 
caded with  cotton  bales.  The  amount  of  do- 
mestic exports  from  this  city  cxceeda  19  mil 
lions  of  dollars  a  year,  being  {greater  than  that 
of  any  otlier  city  of  the  Union,' except  New 
York,  and  nearly  equalling  that.  The  great- 
est Items  thn.t  make  this  amount,  are  sugar 
and  cotton.  Its  advantages  of  communication 
with  the  country,  immediately  adjacent  to  it, 
have  been  overlooked,  in  comparison  with  those 
of  its  relation  to  the  upper  country.  But  even 
in  these  respects  it  is  unrivalled.  By  the  basin 
of  the  caiial,  and  the  Bayou  St  Joim,  it  oom- 
raunicatefi  with  laike  Ponchartrain,  and  the 
connected,  lakes;  with  tlie  opposite  Florida 
shore,  with  Mobile,  Pensocula,  and  the  whole 
Gulf  shore,  east  and  west  Not  &  few  veisela 
clear  from  the  basin  for  the  Atlantic  and  Mez- 
iowi  ports.  The  basin  is  scarcely  distaipi  .i 
■juarter  of  a  mile  fi-oin  the  ship  landing  qa^ 
Mississippi,  A  person  on  the  basin -ipjlllf 
can  see  the  masts  of  the  vessels,  lying  o^  tbe 
riiore  of  th  Icvee,  and  yet  a  vess  " 
IKmu  the  bu '  >,  v.'ouid  have  to  sail  tli 
lakes  along  the  Gulf  shore,  and  up  the  Hiaidm 
■ippi,  some  hundreds  of  miles,  to  or  3  at  so 
little  distance  from  her  former  positiou.  Even 
the  oommercc  and  shipping  of  the  basin  would 
be  suflieient  for  the  ^ppurt  of  a  considemble 
city.  T!iere  is  an  incorporation,  to  connect 
the  lake  with  the  MisNisajjiui  bjr  a  oonul,  di- 
rectly fVom  the  one  to  the  oQtcr.  A  most  nc- 
ceaeary  and  important  jjMHJ  is  ulso  contem-

A  rail-road  4}  m.  in  length,  from  the  citv  to 
I  jukc  Ponchartrain,  hat  been  recently  finished 
It  in  perfectly  straight,  and  varies  only  16 
i.iol)L'8  from  a  dead  level  from  end  to  end.  No 
city  in  tlio  United  States  contains  such  a  vari- 
Rty  of  inhabitants  from  every  state  in  the 
Union,  and  from  every  nation  in  Europe ;  and 
there  are  not  a  few  from  tlie  Spanish  country, 
and  the  islands.  There  is  on  nstonishing  con- 
trast of  manners,  lan^^^,  and  complexion. 
One  half  the  population  is  black  or  colored. 
The  French  population  probably  as  yet  pre- 
dominates  ovur  the  Ameritan.  Among  the 
Americans,  the  inhabitants  oi'the  city  of  New 
York  seem  to  have  the  greater  number,  and 
New  Orleans  has  more  intercourse  with  New 
York,  than  any  otlier  American  city.  The 
intercourse  with  Havana  and  Vera  Cruz  is 
l^rcat,  and  constantly  increasing.  The  college 
iH  a  respectable  building,  and  nas  ample  en- 
dowments, but  has,  as  yet,  done  little  fot  the 
literature  of  the  country.  There  are  a  num- 
ber of  charitable  institutions  in  this  citv,  of 
respectable  character ;  and  when  the  epidemic 
yellow  f^ '.  er  visits  it,  the  manner  in  which  the 
inhabitixnt.'j  bestow  charity,  nursing,  shelter, 
opr]  medical  aid  to  the  sick,  is  worthy  of  all 
praise.  A  library,  for  the  use  of  the  poorer 
reading  young  mm  of  the  city,  has  been  in- 
stituted, end  in  the  i -vtent  of  her  eflicient  and 
usefiil  charities,  New  ( Jrleons  is  not  far  behind 
her  Atlantic  sivturs.  There  are  fewer  churches 
in  the  city,  than  in  any  other  town  of  the  same 
vize  rii  tlic  Uiiiteo  States.  There  are  but  throe 
Catholic  placed  of  worship,  one  Presbyterian, 
one  Epison>alian,  a  Mariners'  church,  a  Baptist 
and  a  Metliodist  place  of  worship.  Very  little 
obrorvonce  of  tli3  Sabbath,  as  nortliem  people 
estimate  it,  is  seen  in  this  city.  It  is  well 
known,  that  the  fcrms  of  the  Catholic  w«in^p 
do  not  forbid  amusements  on  the  Stbbath.

The  College  of  Phytiriata  and  Surgttnu

trustees.  The  college  building  is  situated  In 
riarclay  stre(>t.  New  York.  The  whole  ex-

Dir    i;  the  night  of  the  Ifiih  of  Decfflnber, 
1S:16,  .Sew  York  was  visltsd  by  thn  most  *x- 
tensi've  coriflK,;ration  ever  witnessed  on  this 
continent.    The  tire  broke  out  in  Merchant 
street,  in  the  triangular  block  formed  by  Wall, 
Wllliatn,  and  Fearl  streets,  about  nine  o'elotk 
in  the  evening.     A  strong  north-west  wind 
caused  the  fame  tpilcVly  to  spread,  while  the 
intense  cold  wealhev  frustrated  in  a  great  de- 
gree the  effom  of  the  tiremen  and  citizens  to 
subdue  its  pov/er.     Of  the  buildings,  chiefly 
stores,  dtstmycl,  7fl  were  in  Water  street  j  79 
in  Pearl  ttreet  s  37  in  South  street  j  28  m  Wall 
street)   80  in   Front  streot;   16  in   Hanover

vcrnour's  laue;  10  in  Jones'  lane  j  20  in  Cujr- 
le»<^allcv!  and  38  in  Mill  street)  making  • 
total  of  674.    Ihe  total  loss  estimated  at  1* 
millions  and  ri  half.  The  New  York  Exchange, 
a  beautil'iil  white  marble  building,  adorned  witB 
columns,  and  a  noble  statuo  of  Hamilton,  WM 
involved  in  the  general  riiin.    The  fije  was  «t 
lenijth  retarfed  by  blowing  up  with  powder  the 
neaTest  buildings  on  all  sides,  which  It  threat, 
encd  to  Invade."    Thus  depiived  of  the  means 
of  spreading,  the  flame  fed  upon  t>ie  iinmenee 
property  already  in  its  grasp,  and  for  mouth* 
after  sent  up  from  the  riiino  a  dense  coin  r:n  of 
smoke,  B8  a  monument  of  its  prowess.    Heavy 
as  was  this  blow  iipon  the  wealth  and  eoter- 
prwe  of  the  city,  nearly  the  whole  space  11 
now  rel  uilt,  and  presents  even  a  greater  •»- 
pearance  of  business  activity  tlian  fom»erw. 
The  most  revolting  circumstances  attended  thu 
calamity.    Nearlv  cue  hundred  villains  wer» 
t»ken  in  the  very  act  of  stealing  valuable  arti^ 
cles  when  the  danger  and  alarm  were  at  the 
highest,  and  at  least  two  hundred  more  were 
afterwards  arrested  for  the  same  Iniquity.  The 
rootiis  of  the  police-men  were  crowded  with 
goods  of  almost  every  description,  taken  from 
the  thieves.     Women  were  not  leas  active  than 
men  in  making  way  with  the  plunder,  toA 
large  quantities  of  silks,  shawls,  laces,  end 
'«ltber  light  goods,  of  liigh  value,  beoame  their 
easy  prey.

aflbrds  most  di;liglitfu|  prospects,    Rivers  of 
romantic  and  beautiftil  chard9tcr  come  in,  al- 
most at  equal  distances,  as  lateral  canals.     Its 
bottoms  are  of  extraordinary  depth  and  fer- 
tility^  generally  high  and  dry,  and  for  the 
most  part  liealthy ;  while  tlie  configuration  of 
the  country  on  the  baiil-.s  has  all  that  grandeur, 
soflncds,  or  variety^  still  changing  and  recur- 
ring in  such  combinations  as  are  requisite  to 
destroy  a  monotonous  ctTcct.    For  tliirty  miles

it  is  not  much  more.    Below  tlie  Cumberland, 
its  average  width  is  1,000  yards.  Its  valley  ii 
deep,  and  heavily  timbered,  and  has  nowhere 
the  slightest  indication  of  prairie.    It  varies 
from  3  to  10  m.  in  widtli.    It  is  bounded  in  its 
whole  course  by  bluff's,  sometimes  towering 
sublimely  from  the  shores  of  the  river,  and 
sometimes  receding  2  or  3  miles.    Beyond  tlie 
immediate  verge  of  the  bottom  is  a  singular 
line  of  hills,  more  or  less  precipitous,  stretch- 
ing from  5  to  10  m.  from  the  banks.    They

This  rapidity  being  contimiully  varying,  it

stages  of  tlie  water,  to  vary  between  1  and  3

age  width  is  1,000  yards.  Its  valley  ia

to  10  TO.  in  widtli.  It  is  bounded  in  it) 
course  by  bluffs,  sometimes  towering

biy  not  ulvanco  a  mile  an  hour.  It  ii'iubirnt 
(o  extreme  elevations  and  depreixions.  I'he 
average  rauffe  between  high  and  low  water,  is 
fitly  wot.  fta  lowest  atage  is  in  September; 
anil  its  highest  in  March.  But  it  is  subject  to 
sudden  and  very  considerable  rises  through  tlie 
year.  It  has  been  known  to  rise  12  feet  in  a 
night  When  these  sudden  elevations  take 
place,  at  the  breaking  up  of  the  ice,  u  scene 
of  desolation  sometimes  occurs;  and  boats  and 
every  thing  in  its  course  ore  curried  away  by 
the  Ooouniulutcd  power  of  the  ice  and  the  wa- 
ter. Its  average  descent  in  a  mile,  is  not  far 
from  six  inches.  At  Cincinnati,  the  surface  of 
the  river  at  low  water,  is  supposed  to  bo  130 
feet  below  the  level  ^'if  Lake  Eric,  and  430 
above  that  of  the  tjiAe-water  of  tho  Atlantic, 
fietwccn  Pittsburg  and  the  mouth,  it  makes 
three  and  a  half  degrees  of  soutliing  in  lati- 
tude. The  average  time  of  the  suspension  of 
its  navigation  by  icc,  is  five  weeks.  One-half 
of  the  remainder  of  the  year,  on  an  average, 
it  is  navigable  by  large  steam-boats  in  its  whole 
course.  The  other  half,  it  can  be  navigated 
easily  only  by  ftcam-boats  of  a  small  draft  of 
water.  Sinc^  tlio  Louisville  and  Portland  canal 
has  been  completed,  steam-boats  of  small  draft 
eon  descend  at  all  times  from  Pittsburg  to 
the  Mississippi.  Flat  and  keel-boats  descend 
tlio  river  at  all  seasons ;  but  in  periods  of  low 
water,  with  fiequent  groundings  on  the  sand- 
bars, and  the  necessity  of  oflcn  unloading  to 
get  the  boat  oiT.  It  would  be  difficult  to  de- 
cide when  the  Ohb  has  the  most  beautiful  ap- 
pearance— in  the  spring,  when  it  rolls  along 
between  full  bonks,  or  in  the  autumn,  when 
between  the  ripples  it  is  calm  and  still,  with 
broad  and  clean  sand-bars ;  or  in  the  ripples, 
where  ita  transparent  waters  glide  rapidly  over 
the  pebbly  and  shelly  bottom,  showing  every 
thing,  aa  through  the  tiansparency  of  oir.  Tlie 
(Mo,  and  all  its  tributaries,  cannot  have  less 
than  5,000  miles  of  boatable  waters ;  and  ta- 
lung  all  circumstaitces  into  consideration,  fbw 
rivet*  in  the  world  can  vie  with  it  either  in 
utility  or  beauty.

amount  coined  annually  varies  fVom  two  and 
a  half  tu  three  million  dollars.    The  Schuyl- 
kill Water-Works  are  a  splendid   establish- 
ment, and  noted  especially  for  tlie  rich  ond 
varied  prospect  enjoyed  from  them.  The  build- 
ing in  which  the  machinery  is  contained  is  a 
handsome  one,  and  the  machinery  is  capable 
of  raising  7  million  gallons  of  water  in  21 
hours.    The  wheels  aro  driven  by  a  current 
from  a  dam  above.    The  reservoirs  are  on  a 
hill,  higher  than  any  part  of  the  city.    The 
pipes  extend  34  or  35  m.    This  grand  work 
abundantly  repays   the  inspection.     Pratt's 
Garden,  in  fb|l  view  of  the  Water- Works,  is  a 
charQuruE  place,  and  well  worthy  tt>  be  visited.

Universitjr  of  Pennaylvania  was  incorporated

to  degrees  ia  usually  about  30.    llie  Medical 
Institution  belonginff  to  the  Universitjr  has  B 
pro'essora,  and  baa  uie  reputation  of  being  tlic 
firat  institution  of  tho  kind  in  the  Unipn.    It 
has  about  500  atndents  from  various  porta  of 
tho  U.  States.    Ifai  buildings  are  two  large  and 
elegant  edifices  in  Ninth  street,  between  Ches- 
nut and  Market    The  Jefferson  Medical  Col- 
lege, situated  in  Tenth  street,  is  another  insfi- 
tution  of  thia  kind :  it  has,  at  present,  a  smaller 
number  of  students.  The  Philadelphia  Prison  is 
a  more  interesting  object  to  humanity  tlian  the 
most  gorgeous  palaces.    It  presents  the  practi- 
cal application  of  principles  which  woridly 
men  liave  derided,  and  philoKopliy  has  upheld 
witliout  daring  to  lini>o  for  tlu  ir  :;doption.  The 


convicts  are  all  employed  in  various  kinda  of 
mechanical  labor,  the  prococdaof  which,  when 
they  exceed  tho  expenses  of  their  prosecution 
and  support  during  tlicir  confiiiement,  are  di- 
vided, one-half  being  [)ald  to  tho  prisoner  at 
his  discharge,  and  the  balance  retamed  by  the 
state.    Tho  humane  and  rational  system  of 
discipline   established,    and    so    succesafhlly 
maintained  in  this  prison,  has  become  a  model 
for  those  of  the  other  states.  Though  separated 
by  justice  from  rociety,  and  condemned  to 
years  of  toil,  the  prisoners  are  not  supposed  to 
linve  lost  tho  distinctive  attributes  of  human 
nature :  th«y  arc  treated  ar  rational  beings, 
operated  on  by  rational  motives,  and  repay  this 
treatment  by  improved  habits  of  industry  and 
submission.    Tho  public  s(]uarcs  of  this  city, 
from  their  tirequency,  verdure,  and  the  num- 
ber of  people  promenading  them,  give  it  an 
oppearaneo  uf  rural  beauty,  which  few  large 
and  commercial  cities  iiosscss.    No  city  in  the 
Uition  can  show  such  long  ranges  of  uniform 
and  niagnifieent  houses  aE  tliis.    Uniformity, 
neatness,  and  utility  are  its  standing  cliarac 
tcristics.    Two  men,  whose  names  will  be  co- 
eval with  time,  differing  in  a  thousand   re- 
spects from  each  otiicr,  nave  been  enabled  to 
stamp  a  blended  impress  of  their  own  peculiar 
intellectual  character  upon  the  aspeet  and  in- 
stitutions of  Philadelphia.    The  one  is  Frank- 
lin, the  simple  and  eagaeinuH  expounder  of  the 
doctrine  of  utility ;  tho  other,  William  Pcnn, 
the  memorable  patriarch,  the   immortal  as- 
serter  of  toleration,  a  doctrine  in  his  time  little 
known,  but  now  as  universally  admitted  and 
lauded  in  theory,  as  it  is  generally  disregarded 
in  practice.     Another  celebrated  individual, 
Stephen  Girard,  who  closed  hie  life  within  the 
present  year,  by  bis  great  exertions  and  unex< 
aniplcd  success  in  commerce  and  banking, 
contributed  largely  during  his  life  to  tile  pros- 
perity of  this  city.    By  perseverance  and  good 
fortune,  he  accumulated  possessions  in  real 
estate  and  money,  to  the  amount  of  more  than 
ten  millions  of  dollars ;  ond  at  his  death,  he 
ueathcd  more  than  three-fourtlis  of  thia  ini- 
sum  to  tho  corporation  of  Philadelphia, 
arious  charit^le  and  benevolent  initi-

tributaries  of  the  Mississippi,  ond  tlie  first  from 
its  mouth  of  any  importance,  which  it  receives 
on  the  W.  about  400  miles  above  New  Orleans, 
It  takes  its  rise  in  a  chain  of  hills  near  Santa 
F^  in  New  Mexico,  called,  wo  know  not  by 
what  authority,  the  Coous  Mountains.  In  its 
upper  courses  it  receives  Blue  river,  and  False 
VVashita.  It  winds  through  a  region  of  prai- 
ries, on  which  feed  droves  of  buffaloes,  cattle, 
and  wild  horses.  In  these  regions  it  receives 
a  great  many  considerable  tributaries,  the 
names  of  which  have  not  yet  been  given. 
Through  the  greater  part  of  its  course.  Red 
river  winds  through  iinincnso  prairies  of  a  red 
soil  covered  with  grass,  and  vines  that  bear  de- 
licious gropes.  On  its  bankH  is  tlio  fhvorilo 
range  jf  tlio  buffalo,  and  other  game,  peculiar 
to  the  vast  western  ocean  of  prairies.  About 
tliirty  leagues  above  Natchitoclics,  commences 
the  Rafl,  which  is  notliing  more  than  a  broad 
swampy  expansion  of  the  alluvion  of  the  river 
to  the  width  of  30  or  30  miles.  The  river, 
apraodinff  hare  into  a  vast  number  of  channels, 
frcqaentfy  ahallow,  of  course,  has  been  for  ages 
ckigging  with  a  compact  mass  of  timber,  and 
ftllen  treea,  walled  from  the  upper  regions.

the  obstruction  which  tliis  rafl  np|H>NL'B  to  tlio

an  effort  to  have  it  removed.  Accurate  sur-

government  has  made  an  appropriation  for  tills 
purpoAC.  The  river  above  the  rafl  becomes 
broad,  deep,  and  navigable  for  steam-boats  in 
moderate  stages  of  the  water,  1,000  miles  to- 
wards the  mountains.  Below  the  rafl,  as  we 
have  remarked,  the  river  divides  itself  into 
many  channels,  and  fills  such  a  number  of 
bayous  and  lakes,  that  lie  parallel  to  tlie  river,

the  third  town  in  point  of  population  in  this 
statu,  and  has  hod  tlio  most  sudden  (growth  of 
any  town  in  America.  In  1813  it  was  one 
wide  and  deep  forest  In  1818,  it  contained 
1,04!)  inhabitants;  in  1830,  1,503;  in  1835, 
5,371 ;  in  1830,  9,369.  Parts  of  tlio  town  are 
very  handsomely  built  There  arc  7  rospecta- 
lile  public  buildmgs,  and  13  churches.  Thir- 
teen large  Hour-mills,  with  53  run  of  stones, 
can  annuolly  make  343,000  barrels  of  flour. 
Some  of  those  mills  aro  on  a  scale  of  magni- 
tude not  equalled  elaowhcre  in  tlio  world.  Ono 
of  thmn  covers  more  tlian  4  acres,  and  all  are 
considered  unrivalled  in  the  perfection  of  their 
inachinerv.  Fifteen  million  feet  of  lumber 
are  sawed  or  rafted  hero  annually.  There  arc 
a  number  of  factories  and  mechanical  estab- 
lishments, some  on  a  large  scale.  The  watcr- 
(lower  is  almost  inexhaustible.  The  aqueduct 
over  the  Genesee  at  this  place  is  ono  of  tlio 
most  gigantic  works  on  the  canal  line.  At  the 
northern  extremity  of  the  town,  the  Genesee 
fulls  90  feet  At  Cartilage,  two  miles  distant, 
it  falls  70  feet  Still  another  noblo  cascade  of

and  hua'tliy.  The  ground  on  which  it  stands 
rises  gradually  fVom  the  first  to  tlie  second 
bank.  Throe  streets  run  parallel  with  tlie  river, 
and  are  intersected  by  a  number  of  others  at 
right  angles.  The  town  extends  along  the 
river  about  2  miles.  Most  of  the  houses  that 
have  been  added  witliin  the  lost  ten  years,  hove 
been  of  brick  or  stone.  Some  of  the  public 
buildings  are  handsome.  There  are  two  re- 
specta'ule  Protestant  churches.  The  Catholic 
catliedrol  was  intended  to  be  a  magnificent 
structure ;  it  is  not  yet  completed.  A  spacious 
town-houae  ia  a  great  ornament  to  the  city. 
The  town  haa  extended  itself  along  tlie  hill, 
and  some  of  the  best  houses  are  on  that  de- 
lightful elevation.  The  houses,  in  1820,  were 
reckoned  at  more  than  600.  By  the  census  of 
1830,  it  contained  2,503  fVeo  males;  1,889  free 
females ;  1,668  slaves ;  287  fi'ee  persons  of  oobr. 
Total,  6,694.  The  town  was  then  stationary, 
or  perhops  retrograde. .  But  since  that  time 
the  lead  business  haa  been  reanimated  by  a 
protecting  duty  upon  foreign  lead.  The  fur 
trade  haa  received  a  new  impulae.  The  town 
haa  recovered  from  the  ahock  caused  by  the 
&ilure  of  its  banks.  It  haa  at  present  a  branch 
of  the  United  States  bonk.  A  healthy  ci-cu. 
lation  has  been  restored,  and  the  town  is  now 
ropidly  increasing  in  business  and  population. 
In  the  year  1818, 100  houses  were  odded  to 
the  place.  Three  or  four  gazettes  are  printed 
here.  The  passage  to  New  Orleans  is  1,200 
miles  by  the  river,  and  there  ore  6  steam-boats

into  the  head  of  the  Chesapeake  in  Md.  It  is 
1^  m.  wide  at  its  mouth,  but  is  navigable  only 
5  m.  for  sloo|)s.  Although  tliis  river  carries 
considerably  more  water  tlian  cither  tlic  Hud- 
son or  Connecticut,  it  is  of  no  advantage  at  all 
for  the  pur|)0!ius  of  navigation,  except  at  high 
water,  and  then  only  down  stream.  At  its 
floods,  iiiiiiicnsc  qu.intitics  of  lumber  and  pro-

most  of  them  from  the  state  of  N.  Y.  It  is  a 
remarkably  rough  stream,  and  uover  navigated 
without  considerable  hazard.  Most  of  the  pro-

tucky  river,  nearly  equidintant  from  Cincin-

oiBco,  front  which  issues  a  weekly  journal,  a 
branch  of  the  bank  of  Indiana,  and  soino  other 
public  buildings.  This  interesting  town  was 
eommenccd  in  1804,  by  30  Swiss  families,  to 
whom  the  United  States  made  a  grunt,  under 
&vorablo  stipulations,  of  a  considerable  tract 
of  land,  to  patronize  tlic  cultivation  of  tlic  vino. 
The  patriarch  nf  this  colony  was  a  Swiss  gen- 
tleman, of  tlie  name  of  J.  J.  Oufour,  who  con- 
tinued an  intalligent  friend  to  the  town.  The 
fx>lony  soon  received  considerable  accessions 
from  the  mountains  of  Swit7X)rlund.  In  grate- 
ful remembrance  of  their  native  hills,  and  to 
ereote  in  tlic  boaom  of  tliuir  adopted  country 
tender  associations  wHIi  their  ancient  country, 
they  named  their  ■treuni  Venogc,  and  their 
town  Vevay.  Messrs.  Dufour,  Morerod,  Bct- 
tcns,  Sicbvnthal,  and  others,  commenced  the 
cultivation  of  the  grapo  on  a  large  scale.  This 
cultivation  has  gone  on  steadily  increasing. 
A  hundred  experiments  have  been  since  com- 
menced in  different  |K>int8  of  the  west  But 
this  still  remains  the  largest  vineyard  in  the 
United  States.  We  have  witnessed  nothing 
in  our  country,  in  the  department  of  garden- 
ing and  cultivation,  which  eon  compare  witli 
the  richness  of  this  vineyard,  in  the  autimin, 
when  tlie  clusters  are  m  maturity.  Words 
feebly  paint  such  a  spectacle.  The  horn  of 
plenty  seems  to  have  been  emptied  in  the  pro-

rxtending  fur  away  in  (liat  diroctiun;  E.  by  a 
pruinnnlory  of  no  jrrcul  extent,  but  which 
breaks  olf  abruptly ;  S.  and  SE.  by  a  grassy 
plain,  in  sunnncr,  of  more  tliun  40  acres.  The 
more  elevated  parts  of  those  mountains  are 
occasionally  subject  to  slides  of  curth,  which 
sweep  suddenly  down  their  sides,  and  occasion 
great  damage.  A  serious  calamity  of  this  kind 
occurred  at  the  Notch  in  August,  1826,  to  a 
family  of  tho  name  of  Willcy,  who  occupied 
a  dwelling  in  the  narrowest  part  of  the  defile 
many  milca  from  any  otiicr  human  habitation. 
At  midnight,  during  a  furious  storm  of  rain, 
the  mountain  broke  loose  above  them,  and 
poured  down  in  a  torrent  of  eartli,  rocks,  and 
trees.  The  family,  oused  by  tho  noise,  im- 
mediately fled  fron.  .lu  house,  but  were  over- 
taken by  the  rushiiig  mass,  and  swept  to  de- 
struction. The  roads  and  bridges  along  the 
valley  were  destroyed,  tlic  streams  choked  u\t, 
and  heap  of  earth,  rocks,  and  trees,  exhibited 
a  frightful  picture  of  desolation.

WILMINGTON,  city  and  port  of  entry, 
Newcastle  co.  Del.  between  the  Brandywine 
and  Christiana  creeks,  1  m.  above  their  conflu- 
ence, and  2  W.  from  the  Delaware,  5  N.  from 
Newcastle,  28  SW.  from  Philadelphia,  72  NE. 
fl-om  Baltimore,  and  110  from  W.  Lon.  77° 
34'  W. ;  lat.  3'J°  43'  N.  Pop.  in  1820,  5,268 ; 
in  1830,  6,628.  The  position  of  the  town  is 
high,  airy  and  pleasant;  it  is  regularly  laid 
out,  the  streets  crossing  each  other  at  right 
angles.  It  is  supplit'l  with  water  from  tlie 
Brandywine,  by  water- woiks,  like  those  of 
Pliiladolphia.  The  city  nontiJns  a  town-hall, 
2  market-houses,  3  banks,  a  spacious  olmS' 
house  of  stone,  a  U.  S.  arsenal,  and  13  hnusce 
of  public  worsliip,  viz.  3  for  Episcopalian",  3 
for  Presbyterians,  3  for  Mctiiodicts,  2  for 
Friends,  1  for  Baptists,  tud  1  for  Koman  Cath- 
olics. The  Cliristiuna  admits  vessels  drawing 
14  feet  of  water  to  tlie  town,  and  those  of  8 
feet  can  ascend  8  m,  further.  The  Brandy- 
wine has  S  feet  of  water  to  the  mills.  This 
town  owns  more  tlion  10,000  tons  of  shipping. 
Its  staple  article  of  export  is  flour.  There  is 
a  bridge  over  the  Brandywine,  and  one  over 
tlie  Christiana,  connecting  it  on  each  side  with 
the  beautiful  Hiirroundin,';  country,  in  which  it 
is  situated.  The  wl^bruted  Brandywine  flour 
milU  an  in  «  village  %]tttle  distiMat  from  the

most  namaroas  and  important  in  m'U.  H. 
Those  in  Rochester,  New  York,  now  vie  ^'ith

at  least  100  important  manufactories,  render- 
ing it  the  largesi  manufac  '.uring  district  in  the 
Atlantic  states  (<.  of  Philadelphia.  Thu  prin- 
cipal articles  manufactured  arc  flour,  cotton, 
wool,  paper,  iron  castings,  and  powder.  TTie 
celebrated  powder  manufactory  of  E.  I.  Du- 
pont  is  on  the  Brandywine,  near  Wilmington. 
The  Brandywine  Cholybc  i;  Springs  are  like- 
wise within  5  m.  of  Wilmington,  situated  in  a 
highly  romantic  and  rural  country.  The 
building  for  the  accommodation  of  boarders 
will  bear  comparison  with  any  similar  estab- 
lishment in  the  U.  S.  It  is  a  place  of  grot 
resort  for  invalids  and  people  of  fajhion  during 
the  v/arm  scascn.  Wilmington  is  noted  for 
the  number  and  excellence  of  its  private 
schools,  which  may  be  attributed  to  a  want  of 
enterprise  in  its  inhabitants  to  en  courage  pub- 
lic institutions.  There  is  not  ;  seminary  in 
tlie  city  of  public  endowm-nt.  Among  the 
private  i-eminariea  are  three  Frier  Is'  boarding- 
schools,  two  for  boys,  and  one  for  i  oung  ladies, 
of  long.established  celebrity  ;  there  arc  several 
other  schools  of  the  first  order  that  aecomnio- 
date  both  boarding  and  day  scholars.  The 
whole  number  of  schools  is  above  40,  most  of 
vviiich  are  taught  by  "  ualcs.  A  Catliolic 
charity  school  for  the  education  of  orphans  is 
among  tlio  number.  Ti.ore  are  4  printing- 
ofhces  in  the  town,  from  which  are  issued  4 
periodical  papc.s,  2  scmi-weekly  and  2  woeklv. 
There  is  likewise  a  public  library  of  2,300 
volumes.  Wilmington  carries  on  a  brisk  tradi- 
with  Philadelpliia ;  two  steam-boats  run  daily 
3F 


between  th(!  two  cities,  and  a  third  runa  be- 
tween Wilmington  and  New  Jersey.  It  con- 
tains a  large  iiuinbcr  of  stores  of  almost  every 
description,  from  which  goods  may  bo  bought,

NEW  BRITAIN.  The  country  ly- 
ing  round  Hudson's  Bay,  or  the  coun- 
try of  the  Esquimaux,  comprehending 
Labrador,  New  North  and  South 
Wales,  has  obtained  the  general  name 
of  New  Britain,  and  is  attached  to  the 
government  of  Lower  Canada.  That 
part  called  Labrador,  is  full  of  fright- 
tullRountains,  many  of  which  are  of 
a  stupendous  height.  The  valleys  pre- 
sent numerous  lakes,  and  produce 
only  a  few  stunted  trees.  In  the  paral- 
lel of  60  deg.  north  latitude,  all  vege- 
tation ceases.  Such  is  the  intenseness 
of  the  coid  in  the  winter,  that  brandy, 
and  even  quicksilver,  freezes  into  a 
aolid  mass ;  rocks  often  burst  with  a 
treniiSidoUiS  noise,  equal  to  that  of  the 
heaviest  aitillery.  At  Nain,  Okkak, 
and  Hopedale,  tl)e  Moravian  missiona-
